Book reviews
Notes on books I have read cover to cover.
-
The Wastelands
Book three done. The world building in this series is incredible and most of the magic has so far happened in this one. Yet, I think I will take a break from this series; it’s not because I don’t like the story, but because I...

The Drawing of the Three
Book two done. By book count, I’ve read one quarter of the way through Roland’s journey to the Dark Tower. The purpose of this story is to introduce to Roland his companions. They all hail from New York, thus strengthening the connection between Roland’s world...

The Stand
I recently (now that I’m twenty, I’d say that “two months ago” is equivalent roughly to “recently”) finished reading this book. I read it once, long ago, back when reading was productivity in between hours of youtube watching and video gaming. Now reading is relaxation...
