Stephen King's Wizard and Glass -- Part 1

Wizard and Glass is pretty exciting. It begins with a highly stressful riddle contest against Blaine the Mono, a psychotic train. It ruins nothing to tell you that the group (Roland's Ka-Tet) wins this contest. Once they beat Blaine, they find themselves, oddly enough, in Kansas; but it's not their Kansas. The Dark Tower series seems to be incorporating many different alternate universes, melded together into one. Everything is still very interesting, and the book really does make you wonder how Roland's world moved on.
