I haven't read through the whole Dark Tower series yet, but I'm really disliking Wizard & Glass. Apart from the last quarter of the book when things start cooking, the majority of the book is some boring western bodice-ripper where nothing happens whatsoever. When I first started it I thought, "Alright, Roland will recount his past for a few chapters and then we'll be back in business.". And then it just keeps going and going and you slowly realize the whole book is about his past and some woman you don't really care about. Such a shame too after The Wastelands. That book was kickass from the first page to the last. Blaine was awesome.

Chairman Capone posted:.... which I found to just be some stereotypical teen romance combined with fifty repetitions of "Oh Roland, let me gaze into your eyes". I will say though that Wizard & Glass had one amazing funny line that made up for a lot of the poo poo. I don't know if it was intentionally funny or what, but I loved it. (I'm paraphrasing the first part) "Oh Roland, your love fills me anew, makes me a better person! I could could go on forever, wrapped in your loving embrace, dear Roland." Roland's balls ached.

Bag Of Ghosts posted:It's not a novel, but has anyone here read "Ur?" It's Stephen King's Kindle-exclusive short story. It was written to help promote the Kindle. And then, Tim found out Kindle 2 wouldn't have a flash slot! AAAIIIEEEEEE!!!!! "Get back, demon machine!" Tim yelled, as he pulled out his magical talisman, which just happened to be the playing card he put in his bikes spokes as a child.
