About this listen

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba!

In this fourth volume, Roland, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake survive Blaine the Mono's final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, one that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, Roland recounts a story about a seaside town called Hambry, where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who - with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn's Grapefruit - ignited Mid-World's final war.

love story of the dark tower

I believe this is my least favourite DT book. its fascinating to see into The Gunslingers past, but it feels slightly cliche and very teen. its teens in love, which is usually passionate, but it feels somewhat overblown and unrealistic.

I read the entire early 2000s and waited for the books I had not read. I did the same for the green mile. SK books always so good. So I took on the dark tower series knowing the length, so glad I did.

Then many years later, I could not remember really any of the detail. This has been awesome for me, sane with the previous ones. So love the narration as well from Frank, he always does such a great job. RIP Frank.

Mayhap one of our generations epic tales, journeying with the ka-tet is an exhilarating experience. My tower quest continues on to Thunderclap and The Wolves.

I was a little skeptical about deviating away from the when and where of the first three books, but was pleasantly surprised. The story provided a very entertaining insight into Roland’s beginning as a Gunslinger and his quest for the Dark Tower. While providing key information to the greater picture, the story in this book could stand on it’s own. As always Frank Muller performed brilliantly.

Best one yet!

If you've made it this far into the series, you won't be disappointed in this installment. King manages to provide a lot of answers about how Roland the Gunslinger became the man we've come to know while simultaneously raising new questions. This book is absurd, tragic, emotional, and a worthy part of this series.

Once again, the story is narrated beautifully. I was disappointed to see that Frank Muller did not continue with this series. Regardless, my journey to the tower continues with Book 5.

Absurd, Tragic, and Beautifully Narrated

There’s not enough room for me to list all the things I enjoy about this audiobook.
Frank’s narration is an absolute treat, and brings the characters to vibrating life. Even better upon second listening 🧡
