The fourth volume in the brilliant Dark Tower Series is âsplendidly tenseâŚrip-roaringâ (Publishers Weekly)âa #1 national bestseller about an epic quest to save the universe.
In Wizard and Glass, Stephen King is âat his most ebullientâŚsweeping readers up inâŚswells of passionâ (Publishers Weekly) as Roland the Gunslinger, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake survive Blaine the Monoâs final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, Roland recounts his tragic story about a seaside town called Hambry, where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier whoâwith a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlynâs Grapefruitâignited Mid-Worldâs final war.
Filled with âblazing actionâ (Booklist), the fourth installment in the Dark Tower Series âwhets the appetite for moreâ (Bangor Daily News). Wizard and Glass is a thrilling read from âthe reigning King of American popular literatureâ (Los Angeles Daily News).

Het tempo van de dark tower serie wordt in dit deel ernstig vertraagd. Daarnaast gaat het hele boek over het verleden van roland en staat het echte avontuur op de pauze knop. dat samen maakt het voor mij lastig om de aandacht erbij te houden. De worsteling die King had met het schrijven van dit deel is voor mij wel merkbaar. Een van de mindere uit reeks maar desalniettemin toch de moeite waard.
