Book Three
Before noon yesterday I finished the third book in The Dark Tower series called The Waste Lands. I know that I probably only have a few readers who have read this series, but I want to comment on each of them as I finish anyway.
I am getting very attached to these characters – Roland, Susannah, Eddie, Jake, and Oy. Oy is a “Bumbler”. These look like dogs, badgers, and raccoons mixed together. During the course of this book, Oy has several close calls with his life. Each of these times, I was on the verge of tears. I don’t want anything to happen to any of them.
Out of the three books so far, the second is my favorite. This book was interesting and led up to a great finish. However, during the second book I was on pins and needles the entire time – not only at the end.
I have to say that I am thrilled to be reading the series when all the books are complete. I cannot imagine waiting almost FIVE YEARS between the third and forth books. My memory is bad anyway no matter how much I like something. There’s no way that these books would have meant as much to me if I had had to wait.

I did have to wait a little before book six came out, and then again before seven. That was bad enough!
