Wizard And Glass

Well, finally the story starts to feel mature and akin to other Stephen King books I've read and enjoyed. The whole tale within a tale was gripping and the reader of the audiobook version (Frank Muller) really brought it to life. His Cowardly Lion impression towards the end was terrific!

I give it three stars because, like other Stephen King books I've read, it's enjoyable but forgettable. The exception thus far would be The Stand and It, both of which I've read more than once. Although I'm guessing that, by the time I get to the end of the Dark Tower series, I'll be strongly inclined to read the first one again. I've heard that from a lot of people, and I can see why now. The circular references and fluidity of the timeline add a certain something, so it might very well be worth going back to the beginning once the end is reached.
