the Gunslinger, Dark Tower I - revised

[FS]

Blast. Only hardcover editions of Dark Tower V are available for me now, and I hate them because 1) they're 2/3 times as expensive as paperbacks 2) they're heavier (and I like to carry them on the go) and 3) they just read less pleasantly. I'll have to wait till February.

On Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass, though; I have to agree that the flashback is waaay to dragged out. I think King himself has admitted that romance is not his strong suit, but this part of the book was just too long. Still, I'm very curious about the fate of such characters as Cuthbert and Alain, and I hope they'll be spoken of more in the last three books. My only worry is that King has kinda lost track of the way he was going with his original story, and how the characters behaved.
