About this listen

Stephen King's epic fantasy series, The Dark Tower, is being made into a major movie starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Due in cinemas February 17, 2017 USA.

In the fourth powerful novel in Stephen King's best-selling fantasy quest, The Dark Tower beckons Roland, the Last Gunslinger, and the four companions he has gathered along the road.

And, having narrowly escaped one world, they set out on a terrifying journey across the scarred urban wasteland to brave a new world where hidden dangers lie at every junction: a malevolent computer-run monorail hurtling towards self-destruction, Roland's relentlessly cunning old enemy, and the temptation of the wizard's diabolical glass ball, a powerful force in Roland's first love affair. A tale of long-ago love and adventure involving a beautiful and quixotic woman named Susan Delgado.

And the Tower is closer....

Follow the yellow brick road....

The ka-tet learn the story of Roland's youth; how he fell in love and just who the wizard and what the glass of the title are.

Best yet

My favourite yet in the series. The story of young Roland is entertaining, suspenseful and really well read.

simply gripping from start to finish.

I couldn't stop listening from start to finish. the character development is great with the back story both fitting well but not losing the ability for throwing the odd curve ball...
I can't say more than I now have to buy the next book

Another great instalment

Muller gives a fantastic performance of the story. A special mention for his accent for Eddie Dean.

I was hesitant about Wizard & Glass after hearing a lot of mixed reactions to it. I loved the first couple of chapters, especially when it referenced King's other work but after that I began to struggle but I didn't let that stop me -despite slowing down in the middle, the pay off in the last quarter is more than worth it.

Recommend.

A bit long

Started to loose interest a bit toward end but it was pretty good and ended in time to save me giving up. On to the next one...

Boom

Great continuation of a great series.
Roland's back story is incredible and the last part a wonderful bastardisation of a favourite childhood story.

They're getting better and better.

I never thought I'd persist with these stories. How they're intertwined stories, overlapping timelines and confusing characters were continuing to grow, I feared I'd just give up on the slow progress each novel advanced. But I hope they continue to inch forward. I love this universe!

As good as it gets.

Sublime absolutely sublime! Well paced, emotional, action packed. That Stephen King fellow, knows how to tell a story.

The revisiting of Rolands youth is a work of art. How Roland has come to bare the scars inside and out goes beyond teenage angst, testing of friendships and first love, with the weight of all world's on his shoulders.

Could happily press replay and start this journey all over again. I actually missed my train stop I was so engrossed.

Slightly annoyed at the narrators awful interpretation of a woman's voice as pantomime at best but aside from that small criticism it does not get much better than this.

My favourite narration to date.

Just the best narration I've heard on audible. Fantastic story and characters. Must listen in my opinion.
