The quest endures!

By J. Walker on May 10, 2005

Format: Hardcover

The Wastelands-King's third installment in the Dark Tower saga-marks the true beginning of the quest in many ways. Roland finally gathers his ka-tet (group bound to him by destiny) as he draws young Jake into his world amid a demonic rainstorm. And it is here, as the group prepares to embark on a seemingly insane journey through the Waste Lands (part of Mid-World that has been utterly ravaged by war and the decay of the Tower), that we finally get a look at the true nature of Roland's world.

From the City of Lud-a post-apocalyptic industrial ruin-to the lost cyborg-bear Shardik and the dread portal he guards, it is clear from the start that Roland's world-and perhaps our world as well-contains vastly more than meets the eye. Perhaps the greatest asset to The Waste Lands is the sheer imaginative scope that binds the tale of Roland's ka-tet. Here is a world so complete in its history, so flawless in its realization, and so utterly compelling in its people, that it is far too easy to lose yourself in.

In The Waste Lands, the Dark Tower epic picks of steam and sends the reader hurtling down the dark halls of King's fantastic world.

A word of warning: Have a copy of Wizard and Glass (Book IV) on hand when you finish this; it ends with a really agonizing cliff-hanger.

Strange and Wondrous Realms

By Patrick Shepherd VINE VOICE on October 5, 2001

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Book III of the Dark Tower series continues the quest defined in the first book (The Gunslinger) with the traveling companions introduced in the second book (The Drawing of the Three).
This book is basically a group of adventure episodes: an encounter with a 70 foot high bio-mechanical bear (Shardik), relic of a past age, a strange fight with a demon, a visit to a dying suburban village, an abduction and running battle in a ghost town city, and finally a fantastic trip on a suicidal mono-rail train. Each episode provides a little more insight into Roland's fantastical world, both past and present. By the end of this book, a fairly coherent picture of this world emerges, from its obvious high technology past, to its current sadly deteriorated state, to some of the rationale behind why certain things work the way they do in this world. The book is very action oriented; there is very little reflection on grander philosophical themes here, and continuing character development of the main characters is fairly minimal.
There is a nice variant on the old time-travel paradox. In The Gunslinger, the boy Jake is sacrificed to Roland's determination to catch the 'man in black'. In this story, we find Jake alive and well and still living in (our) New York, due to an action by Roland in The Drawing of the Three that caused the previous history to never occur. But both Roland and Jake have memories of the 'other' past, and this duality is slowly driving both to the edge of insanity. The resolution of this problem requires that Jake be brought back to Roland's world, and how this is accomplished forms the major portion of one of the 'episodes'.Read more ›

Impressive Third Dark Tower Series Novel

By Lonnie E. Holder HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on December 31, 2004

Format: Paperback

"The Waste Lands" begins the actual quest for the Dark Tower, the first two novels in this series, "The Gunslinger" and "Drawing of the Three" being an introduction and a search for the members who would join Roland of Gilead in his quest for the Dark Tower. In the previous book we thought we would meet the three team members who would join Roland in his quest, but one of the members met his demise after Jack Mort's evil was uncovered.

In this book Susannah Dean (nee Walker), Eddie Dean, and Roland of Gilead seek the beam that will lead them to the Dark Tower. They soon encounter an enormous bear that turns out to be more than meets the eye. After their exciting encounter with the bear the trio back trails the bear to its home, and encounter a variety of support critters that are also more than meet the eye. The trio also finds the beam that will lead them to the Dark Tower.

A little down the trail they meet the true third alluded to in "The Gunslinger," none other than Jake Chambers. In a short period the four members of the ka-tet encounter a beat up bumbler that they nickname Oy. This group is the team that we follow onward to the dark tower.

The ka-tet encounters a town of elderly people who warn the group against proceeding to Lud, the nearby big city. However, the team believes they need to ride a train a good portion of the way to the Dark Tower. They soon discover that the only remaining train is named Blaine, as Jake had been prophesying, unbeknownst even to himself, for some time.

Once the ka-tet enters Lud, they discover a war that has been in progress for decades, or perhaps longer; a war so old that none even remember who the good guys and the bad guys are.Read more ›

The best of the series so far

By J. Berry on December 7, 1999

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Not as deeply off the subject as Wizard and Glass, more involved than The Gunslinger, less "ordinary" than the Drawing of the Three, the Waste Lands brings hints of science fiction at the beginning while deeping the fascinating theme of coincidence which is really an amazingly complex series of convergences. We learn more about the three who have been drawn, fear for Roland's mind as he teeters on the edge of madness, understand more about how Mid-World relates to ours, fear for our lives at the hands of Blaine the Mono and are truly drawn into the story as each of the companions begins to feel the pull of the Dark Tower . . . A fascinating and engrossing read. I don't know anybody who's read the Dark Tower series who isn't pining for the next installment.

Excellent book, many typos in kindle

Another great volume of the Dark Tower. Five stars on King's book itself, but the Kindle copy has numerous typos, many of which were jarring as a reader.
