5.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Tower: A Concordance Vol. 1, 5 Jan 2004
By Benjamin Harrison (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Stephen King's "The Dark Tower": v.1: A Concordance: Vol 1 (Hardcover)
This publication is volume 1 of two Concordance books, and assuming that the reader is already familiar with the Dark Tower volumes 1-4, this book is a great reference. Furth does little creative writing at all here, as the majority of the book's 358 pages consist of alphabetical listings of everything -- quite literally everything -- in Stephen King's epic fantasy tale. This is done very well, and if the reader is searching for something specific, it is generally easy to find. Serious fans of the Dark Tower series shouldn't be without this book; Furth does cover everything, from Roland himself to the name and description of every little road and river. Having read the series itself, I was unable to think of anything that has been left out.

As well as the alphabetical listings that make up the bulk of the book, there is a characteristically funny and honest introduction by Stephen King, several pages of maps (which trace Roland's journey from Gunslinger all the way to the end of Wizard and Glass), and a number of appendices which detail languages and cultural and political figures.
As stated, this is volume 1, and so covers books 1 to 4 -- the remainder of the series is given the same treatment in volume 2.

2.0 out of 5 stars ...and the Tower is still no closer, 28 Aug 2003
By Mr. M. P. Roberts "theagelessstranger" (Green, Green Grass of Home) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stephen King the Dark Tower: A Concordance: 1 (Paperback)
Firstly, let me say that I am a massive King and (obviously) a Dark Tower Junkie!

Sadly however, this book gives nothing new to the DT Series. As King himself stated, this book was never ear-marked for publication but was written by Robin Furth as a reference guide for King, for writting Volumes 5,6 and 7.

I have read the first four volumes many times and this book revealed no more to me than I already knew. This book contains:

1. Foreword by King,
2. Intro by Robin Furth,
3. A-Z index of characters with volume and page reference,
4. A-Z index of Mid-World Locations,
5. A-Z index of Locations in OUR world with D.T. references,
6. Chapter on 'sayings' and High Speach words used in the Novels,
7. 2 maps showing Rolands journey from Pricetown to Golgotha (DTI) and Shardiks Lair to Lud (DTII)

...and basically thats your lot! If you still think you need this book, try and have a look at a copy before you buy.

....But, the Tower IS closer and the Rose is still in terrible danger!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tower is Closer... Finally The Roadmap!, 23 Jul 2003
This review is from: Stephen King the Dark Tower: A Concordance: 1 (Paperback)
Where is the Man In Black? Will the Dark Tower fall? Who is the Crimson King? And most importantly, just who does Randall Flagg think he is? If you have spent the last couple of decades following the adventures of Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger and his quest to reach the Dark Tower, then you probably have more questions than answers about the series of Stephen King novels. It's about time somebody provided us with a guide to Mid-world, King's epic fantasy landscape. Robin Furth, one of King's longtime researchers has created a fantastic guide to all the concordance elements of the story, allowing us to understand just how everything fits together... hopefully!
