One of my all time favorite books, with the BEST opening line EVER. I devoured the four available books in this series during my awkward adolescence and have felt like part of Roland's Ka-tet ever since.

This is the first time I've read this via audiobook, and the first time I've re-read in awhile, so I'm not sure if the paperback edition I own is slightly different from this new (2017) audiobook. There were a few times I was like WHAT, did I know that the first few go-arounds?! I noticed a lot more the references to Roland being at the beginning of his quest and the allusions this may not be the first time he's gone around the wheel.

Also, I perfectly ended listening to this while driving to the theater to watch the film adaptation! Woo hoo!
