5.0 out of 5 stars The beginning of a truly compelling story, 2 Dec 2000
By denisedeveney@hotmail.com (Berkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I read every other Stephen King title before starting this series of books and wish I hadn't waited so long! I couldn't put this down and read the entire series within 2 weeks. As usual King takes you into his stories and you feel as if you are almost living in Roland of Gileads shoes yourself. I have to say this is well worth a read, one of his best.

3.0 out of 5 stars King trys to show us he doesn't completely despise trees, 29 Jan 2002
Wow - a Stephen Kind book which didn't spell the end of a tree for every copy published! Against all the odds, you can actually describe this book as slim, and -shock, horror!- neither the writing nor the story suffer for it. In fact, I found the writing a lot more enjoyable than that in just about any other King book. Usually, his writing seems to obviously celebrate the story itself over the writing in which it is presented (which is fair enough, because his stories are usually imaginative and entertaining enough to make up for any flaws in the prose). This story doesn't get bogged down, and it has a dream-like quality to it which makes it more pogniant than usual. I don't know how the story progresses in the following volumes, but I'm looking forward to finding out (especially as I've been told that the story is in some way linked with Flag from "The Stand", Flag from "The Eyes Of The Dragon", and that magical old geezer from the first story in "Hearts In Atlantis", although I don't yet know how true this claim is). All in all, well worth a go (even for people who haven't got to grips with other Stephen King books), especially as its short enough to read without commiting yourself to an exercise in endurance.

5.0 out of 5 stars freaky, 14 Jun 2001
What can I say, this is the only book I read that gave me the strangest dreams. I have enjoyed the whole series and have waited to long for the fifth book. The best steven King book I have read since the Stand
