- Aha! Someone who thinks as I do! Almost everyone I have talked to liked
- either _The Gunslinger_ or _The Wastelands_ better. I loved _Drawing_--
- seeing how Roland got the others there and how they reacted to being pulled
- out of their world. _Gunslinger_ was good, but VERY drawn out. I really
- liked the last 50 pages or so, but it took me a long time to get there!
- (And it seemed even longer than it actually was! :) ) _WasteLands_ was my
- second favorite as well, and the only thing I want to say about it is,
- "Oh, Come ON! A TALKING train!" (And one on a suicide mission! Who will
- kill himself and everyone else unless they come up with a joke that
- he can't answer!-- Yeah, Right!) Although there have been rumors on the
- net lately that King isn't going to continue the series, I'm going to
- continue to hope because I want to learn more about Rolands friends that
- he grew up with. (I can't remember their names... the ones from his
- chilhood that he snuck off to the execution with, etc.) I heard that's
- what _Wizards and Glass_ was supposed to be about. I also want to
- hear more about Susannah, Eddie... etc. Anyway, I agree with the original
- poster about the fact that if King cancels this series, he's going to
- be doing himself a big dis-service because a LOT of people like this series.
