The Waste Lands by Stephen King

This is the third book in the Dark Tower series. If you haven't read the first two books, don't read this review as it contains spoilers.

The Waste Lands is the third book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It continues the story of Roland and his quest for the mysterious Dark Tower. As Roland, Eddie and Susannah continue their journey, Roland is fighting madness. When he stopped Jack Mort from pushing Jake in front of the car, he changed the past. If Jake didn't die, he must not have met Roland at the way station. But, if Roland didn't meet Jake at the way station, why did he remember it happening? Jake is feeling the exact same way in his own reality. He eventually finds a way to Roland's world and joins the quest for the Dark Tower. The foursome must follow the path to the Dark Tower and they have two children's books from Jake's "when" to help them.

That was a terrible synopsis, but I've found that it's very difficult to summarize the books in the Dark Tower series. Once I start my summary, I feel like I want to describe every detail. I'm trying to stay away from too many spoilers, though. Anyway, I really enjoyed this book even though it took me over a month to read it. It really had nothing to do with the book, though, it was because of a pretty crazy month. I liked The Waste Lands more than The Gunslinger and I definitely want to read the next book.

4 out of 5 stars

I'm going to reread Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse before Breaking Dawn comes out on August 2nd, so it may be a little while before I post again. I guess I could post about the books again with my opinion about them after a second read. Maybe I'll do that...
