BookwormAHN This is the book that made me really start to like the Dark Tower series. 4y

TheNeverendingTBR My favourite of the series 4y

Karkar I just love that we get Oy in this one. 4y

DGRachel @BookwormAHN Isn‘t it funny how we can react differently to books? This is the one where I stumbled and quit the series. Mind you, this was 20+ years ago, but I haven‘t tried again. 😳 4y

Fortifiedbybooks Has anyone read the tagged book? I don't think King wrote it, but it's based on Wastelands.

DGRachel @Fortifiedbybooks I‘ve never heard of it, but that cover is CREEPY!😱 4y

BookwormAHN @Fortifiedbybooks @DGRachel He wrote it and it starts playing in quite heavily to this series. 4y

Fortifiedbybooks @BookwormAHN that's good to know. I have a copy of it at home and I plan on reading it in October 4y

JulAnna @DGRachel I think it is funny—how preferences vary— this is probably my least favorite of the Dark Tower books, with the exception that is does introduce Oy. So worth it to continue on, though -my favorites of the series are still to come! 🤓 4y

The Waste Lands | Stephen King

2-18-19: My 14th finished book of 2019! #thewastelands #thedarktower #stephenking 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣4️⃣

HeathHof Curious what you thought of this one and if you've read the others before it recently? 6y

GidgetsTreasures75 @Mynameisacolour I read the first two not that long ago. I didn‘t love the first book and surprised myself when I continued to the second but I really liked the second one so I continued to book 3 with much excitement. I found this one a little tedious but I still liked it better than the first and I will keep reading since it ended on a cliffhanger. How about you? 6y

MinDea @Jovy @GrilledCheeseSamurai @Fortifiedbybooks @AnansiGirl @tonyahoswalt @BookwormM @EadieB @BookwormAHN @Andrew65 @TK421 @ScientistSam @jmofo @TrishB 6y

TrishB My memory started coming back in this one and I was anticipating some of the storylines! However, I couldn‘t remember how Jake came back so was relieved when that finally happened! Some gaps filled in for what happened in the past. 6y

MinDea How did everyone like this book? Who are you liking and not liking? What happened to the ka-tet that you want to discuss? 6y

See All 27 Comments

MinDea @TrishB I totally did not remember how Jake was drawn back to the ka-tet either! I really enjoyed reading that scene. Having read this series before I caught so much foretelling for what is to come. They have finally started their adventure and are on The Path of The Beam now! 6y

EadieB @Trishab @mindea Iwas enjoying Blaine and his riddles. The man in Black is now referenced by the name of Randall Flagg. (edited) 6y

TrishB It‘s weird - because my mind also thought they were off the train before the next one - but they‘re only just on it...I‘m loving the journey again so far! 6y

TrishB @EadieB true 👍🏻 appearing in many SK works everywhere!! 6y

EadieB The Waste Land‘s goal was to get the group to Lud, onto the train and across the lands between there and Topeka. @Trishab @mindea 6y

BookwormAHN I really enjoyed this one. Isn't the house that Jake came back through the same one in It. 6y

LazyDays I liked this book more so then some of the other's. I enjoyed the sense of commitment everyone is coming to terms with, the realization that this will forever be their journey. King has some great foreshadowing , even if if took me two reads also to see it. 6y

LazyDays @EadieB Randall Flag is a different character in another king book. I am loving how King is able to tie a lot of his stories to the Tower. All thing serve the Beam. 6y

LazyDays @BookwormAHN Yes. That house has a major point in the over all story. 6y

LazyDays I really like how King brought Jake back. I'd have to say one if the better story lines in the book. Poor Jake, I'm happy he is sorted out for now💗 Jake is one of my favorite characters. He is grounded and intelligent for such a young boy. 6y

LazyDays @TrishB forgot to tag you😊👆👆 6y

TK421 I really enjoyed the riddles with Blaine. I am intrigued by the tick tock man. I'm curious to see how he comes around again. 6y

tonyahoswalt I definitely started to enjoy the series with this book. Love all the main characters, especially Jake and Oy. You do have to accept though that this is about the journey and the relationships, not major plot points. And that's okay with me. 6y

TK421 I loved how Eddie reacted to the people in Lud killing each other at the drum line of ZZ Top's Velcro Fly. 6y

MinDea Did anyone else picture the 12 guardians with the dark tower in the center like the final Hunger Games clock?! 😆 @TK421 @tonyahoswalt @LazyDays @BookwormAHN @EadieB @TrishB 6y

TK421 Well now I am! 😂 6y

MinDea @TK421 I love the weaving of our world with mid world. All the references to music, books, food, etc is so fun. It's almost nostalgic like (if that makes any sense). 6y

TK421 I know what you mean. Roland tried to explain that time is working differently there, and that thin spots exist between worlds. I think that it is interesting what things have come through. 6y

Jovy This was the book that made me decide never to start a series without the last book published. Back then it was unheard of to wait 6 yrs after a cliffhanger. Now not so much (George and Pat have set new standards 😂). Anyway, don't you just love how Oy defended Jake? Very much a gunslinger act! @TK421 riddling with Blaine was so much fun. Plus I loved the way Roland put him in his place like the spoiled brat that he is! 6y

LazyDays I didn't envision that tell now! 6y

BookwormM Hunger Games now in my head to 🤣🤣love the riddles even though I had to wait ages to prove that my answer was right. I enjoy the dynamic between the characters and am looking forward to how it develops. 6y

BookwormM Do we have a schedule for the next book as my copy has arrived from the library and I am eager to start 😃 6y

BookwormM I really enjoyed the education about prime numbers but unfortunately it has already exited my brain 🤣🤣 6y

PaperbackPirate This was another great installment in The Dark Tower journey. I loved seeing the other gunslingers come into their own. The riddles were a fun addition but I realized I suck at riddles. The only one I figured out was the prime number one. 6y
