A review by mike_nz
The Waste Lands by Stephen King
5.0
Edit - It's been 2 days since I finished The Waste Lands and all of my slight reservations have disappeared. The more it's sat with me the more I like and appreciate the book. 5 stars all the way.
I just finished this about 5 minutes ago so am still processing this read, but I'm not sure how I feel about this book. A lot of people say this is among their favourite Dark Tower novels but I think I preferred The Drawing of the Three. Maybe I was expecting too much but , boy, it was still a great read but just lacked that certain something to make it a 5 star.
I'm not sure if I'll dive straight in and read book 4 next. I have Wizard and Glass on my shelf but my copy is 840 pages long. 840 PAGES! And I've heard the vast majority of this book is made up of Rolands backstory - hmmm; whilst his backstory is no doubt important, I can't say I'm looking forward to taking that massive journey.
