 Roland continues on his journey with Eddie and Susannah by his side, only this time he is riddled with an illness of the mind. Ever since saving Jake from The Pusher, Roland has had two different memories of the journey. One including Jake at the Way Station and the other where he was by himself up until he met with The Man in Black. Jake is troubled with the same. He has a memory of being hit by a car, dying, and ending up in Roland's world but also has the memory of not being hit by the car and the days afterwards in his world. All of them have been weird visions. Eddie envisioned a rose and a key. Jake envisioned a pink mono-rail named Blaine. Weird happenings continue to occur to the group but one thing is for certain, Roland and Jake must return to each other before they are both lost. Are they about to do it? Or does the changing world take them as victims one final time? Find out in The Waste Lands.
The Waste Lands is the third book in the Dark Tower series. A lot goes on so I had to read slowly to absorb everything, but I was enthralled the entire time. This book is the best so far. So many twists and turns occur. Some questions are answered while more are recreated. I did not want to put it down.
