A good continuation of the epic. I agree that it ends rather arbitrarily, but I will survive. My copy is the 1st printing of the edition and has a different cover from the one PBS shows now. My cover shows an old steam locomotive.

I loved the entire series, very good writing and not as scary as regular King novels.

Long book and I got a bit stalled toward the middle. However, it did pick up speed at the end.

King's third volume on Roland the gunfighter's search for the Dark Tower. Roland has two companions on his quest for the tower at the portal of all the worldsp. 53 : Susannah Dean and Eddie Dean, who entered his world from New York City of 1963 and 1987, When the three track down the den of a 70-foot-tall cyborg bear, they are pointed down a path leading to the Tower. But Roland is slowly going mad, a fact that seems linked to his past experiences with Jake Chambers, a boy who died twicestet ital in the first book of the series. Jake reappears here, displaying great resilience in crossing over from 1977 New York City to join Roland & Co

An excellent continuation of the first two books in the series.
Needs to be read in order to fully understand the story.
This is book #3.
