My one and only complaint about this book is not even with King's work. Though I love ned Dameron's art work in most of the book, I wish he'd gotten Jake's hair coloring correct. The picture of Jake beholding the Rose is stunning except for his not being pictured as blonde.

[Aaron]

That was actually my only issue with the book, as well. I like a lot of Dameron's work, but I still cannot believe that he fucked up the hair. And that no one at Grant said anything to him about it. :lol:

[Daghain]

I'll third the hair thing, but I still gave it a 5. :)

Ooph, I think I'll get some flak for this but I gave this a 3. It was just average in a lot of ways for me. It has some great, great moments, but those were far apart. It was somewhat laborious to read, whereas I devoured DT2 in just a few days - lightning-fast for me. Perhaps it was just the high from that volume that didn't really transfer to DT3, I dunno. So, just average here...

[Aaron]

Well, the pacing of the story was totally different in book 3--that probably had a lot to do with it. The only other book in the series that can really match the pace of DT 2 is Song of Susannah.

I gave this one a "good". My rankings for the DT books are only going to be a 5, 4 or 3 and this one rates a 4 for sure. :clap:

[John_and_Yoko]

Gave it a 5 for Jake's essay alone! :D LOVED it!

[Unfound One]

The Waste Lands is my favorite DT (at least on my last re-read), so definitely a 5. :thumbsup:

[Sam]

I absolutely LOVED this story. I loved the pacing of it, and had to stay up all night reading it once I got near the end. I probably read the last third of it in one night. It's been a LONG time since I read it (got it for Christmas in 1991 and read it that week before I went back to school). A definite 5!!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

This is my favorite of the seven. There is so much plot in this book, it's insane.

:rose: F*** me Freddie, this one is hard for me.
I may have to come back tommorow, I'm too sad
at the moment to trust my own judgement.:scared:

5. can i rank it higher than a 5? :nope: okay, then 5.

5.
Mainly because of the awesomeness that is the Tick Tock Man. But there were plenty of other cool things too!

[fernandito]

How can you not love Wastelands?

[ManOfWesternesse]

I toyed with the possibility of giving this a 4, but just couldn't do it.
It's a 5.

I found Jake's story fascinating. And it heralded the "Fuck Greta Shaw" campaign - and what's not to love about that? :innocent:

[mae]

Ooh somebody else gave this one a three. Step forth, brother, it's okay :)

I dunno, something just didn't work with this one, but it's not the lowest DT book for me (that's reserved for the follow-up).

[Tiffany]

Loved it!

Not only because I LOVE this section of the journey, but it was also the first Tower book that I owned. :rock:

[IWasSentWest]

my favorite book in the series...the gunslinger always holds a special place, but this one was just soooooo badass
