Bearing in mind I fucking HATED Wizard and Glass because it was just Roland sitting around telling a story... would I like this?

Dunno mate. I'm only a little way in.

No, because the second half is a story within a story.

I really enjoyed it though. It felt good to be back in Mid-World after so long.

Well, I hope you're all happy. I've had to reread Wizard and Glass again to fit the new book into sequence.

It's... not as Mills and Boon as my memory insisted it was, but IMHO it's still the weakest of the series

Who is Elba playing again?

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Mar 01, 2016 16:04

The gunslinger.

Excellent.

I presume it's going to be a six part film or something? They couldn't do the source material justice in one film.

Also: yay Elba!

Film then a series is still the current thinking, apparently.

Any idea if they are tackling the story in book-order, or are they doing something different with it?

Hey, that movie wasn't as bad as I'd been led to believe. As long as you forget all about the books.

That shot was epic.

I've not seen it yet, but if you

think of it as one of previous/next time loops, it's more palatable.
