For what to be honest: Only 50 pages of this book which includes 300 are related to the search for Rolland, as saying little ...!
This is the approach shots frost, ice storm that spares no life. Rolland and his team took refuge in a shelter. This is an opportunity for him to tell them near the hearth, while the elements rage outside, a first of its past history, in which is embriquer a second that his mother told him once ...
The rest of the book is based on this since the past frost hits and the stories counted, the ka-tet resumes its way to the country of Callas and Thunderclap (Volume 5) ... fastoche oserait' we think ...
Indeed, because the longer of the two stories told by Rolland in his Ka-tet, have been widely published regardless of the "Dark Tower" as a new, so it feels a little effect cheating and ease.
In the same principle Rolland might as well have told us "eyes of the dragons" or "the little girl who loved tom gordon" (two other novels SK) by changing a few names, including as it sets the radius of the path and the vocabulary in the world of the dark turn, to attach them to the saga leaves make two more tomes, that inevitably gather out the fans ...
But as any fan, well ... I forgive Stephen king who probably wanted to please his readers thus allowing them to find the main protagonists of the dark tower and plunge into the atmosphere of this monumental saga.
I forgive because we must recognize that it is still recounted with passion, with such sensitivity and accuracy in "magic crystal" and that reading this tome gave me such pleasure, she told given the desire to repeat the whole saga and / where to revive me in the best novels of the King (The Shining, Misery, Dolores Claiborne, Charlie, Ca, the green line, Dome etc ...)
So yes ... Stephen King is probably a formidable manipulator that could be suspected of "cheating" (and not often it happens) but when it is for his greater good, can you blame him?
It is above all one of the best storytellers and when it does so in the language of Gilead, in the world of gunslinger, I must admit, if fai, his stories are a good size ...
