machines and madnessbook review 1605

so i finally, FINALLY finished THE WASTELANDS, THE DARK TOWER III by STEVE KING, 420pp.

thing is, i've been reading the damn thing for like, two weeks now, and it's not that it's difficult or bad, in fact, it's really really good, but it took me two weeks or so cause every time i tried reading i would fall asleep or be interrupted or i was doing stuff. but i finally finished it, and now i have to read some more books quickly so i can get back on track with my goal of reading a book a week.

so the book, i'm probably the last human on earth to read it, was really good. the third book in the dark tower series, written over the course of a few years, recently completed. you can see the evolution of king's writing, see him get better with each book. the first one was good but seemed incomplete, the second was really good, this one was really good as well.

i liked it becasue the book incorporates different things into one whole universe, and king can write a scene that makes you feel and see and smell everything going on. it is a mightly adventure and i'm glad i read it. well written, damned interesting, way worth it. i look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series, and hopefully i won't take as long with them.
