Dark Tower III

The Waste Lands

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Frank Muller

The third volume in the #1 nationally bestselling Dark Tower Series, involving the enigmatic Roland (the last gunfighter) and his ongoing quest for the Dark Tower, is “Stephen King at his best” (School Library Journal).

Several months have passed since The Drawing of the Three, and in The Waste Lands, Roland’s two new tet-mates have become trained gunslingers. Eddie Dean has given up heroin, and Odetta’s two selves have joined, becoming the stronger and more balanced personality of Susannah Dean. But Roland altered ka by saving the life of Jake Chambers, a boy who—in Roland’s world—has already died. Now Roland and Jake exist in different worlds, but they are joined by the same madness: the paradox of double memories. Roland, Susannah, and Eddie must draw Jake into Mid-World and then follow the Path of the Beam all the way to the Dark Tower. There are new evils…new dangers to threaten Roland’s little band in the devastated city of Lud and the surrounding wastelands, as well as horrific confrontations with Blaine the Mono, the piratical Gasher, and the frightening Tick-Tock Man.

The Dark Tower Series continues to show Stephen King as a master of his craft. What lands, what peoples has he visited that are so unreachable to us except in the pages of his incredible books? Now Roland’s strange odyssey continues. The Waste Lands follows The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three as the third volume in what may be the most extraordinary and imaginative cycle of tales in the English language.

love the series

man started reading these books when the first came out during high school and they still do not disappoint.

Great series

I loved this series. If you are a fan of Stephen King it is worth buying

Like the first time...

4th time through the series, and it is still so great.
I still feel goosebumps, tears and laughter at all the right places.

Great Book Love It!!

Hates having to put it down felt effortless to finish. Going on to the next book already.

Amazing!!

I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and The Dark Tower series is by far his greatest work. I'm absolutely hooked. The narration of Frank Muller pulled me in even more. His different voices brought characters to life and I have become attached to them through his interpretations just as if they were real people, real friends (I'm not ashamed to say that Oy is now my favorite). If I could give this more then 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Great story! Great narrator!
