Pretentious in need of a good story

Revisado: 08-10-18

I rarely don’t finish a book but this was impossible to tolerate after the first few chapters. The pseudo-academic pretentiousness was tedious. The narrator was pretty awful and monotonous too with a few lame attempts at a British accent.

Bizarre take on the meaning of life

Revisado: 08-09-18

This is a strange one. The authors present a bizarre take on how to find meaning in life from the perspective of entitled straight white males. The communal enjoyment of passions such as hunting whales and baseball are core. Surprised that they didn’t mention car racing and bull fights. They also forgot to mention that the Homeric passions they admire only applied to a tiny section of the population rich enough to steal wives and fight duels but not worry about feeding themselves. Cartesian rationalism gave us science and medicine. Sounds like a better deal than the meaning of indulging in shared passions.

increasingly disappointing

Revisado: 07-05-04

Unfortunately, the Dark Tower series is just getting worse. The story failed to go anywhere at all. Compared to the earlier parts in the series which contain complex images and clever narrative, this book is vague and rambles on with characters being developed and then mysteriously dropped from the narrative. Frankly, you can skip this one as it will not bring you any closer to the Tower...
