THE WASTE LANDS (THE DARK TOWER #3) BY STEPHEN KING audiobook is the third in the Dark Tower saga. The Gunslinger's KATET is almost complete and the travelers are still on their journey to find Roland's Dark Tower . But Roland is dying. Roland is divided, and if Eddy and Susanna cant fix Roland, Roland will die and they will be left alone in Roland's world.
The Dark Tower series are my on my favorite list of Kings books. Now that I have audio version of it I can listen to it time and again. The Waste Lands pace , to me is much faster than the first two so it not only reads but it listens faster.
We the "Constant Reader" finally see Eddy and Susanne come into their own. They have accepted their fate or their KA . They now are Gunslingers. They still depend on Roland for their needs but they are learning faster.

THE REMNANT BY CHANNING WHITAKER
THE REMNANT BY CHANNING WHITAKER is a novella of creepy proportions! I really hated to see it end it was so good.
Gene Whitfield , author , finds out his aunt has passed away and left him everything. Great news right? Gene just had a flop of a book and the critics arent holding back on just how bad the book is, so the news of his inheritance came at a pretty good time. Gene goes to his aunts house and finds that aunty has one or two secrets hidden in her closet. He finds, in the fireplace a book with crazy symbols on it and of course reads the book(like that NEVER leads to bad things?) He sits down at his typewriter and writes nonstop until this crazy book is finished when his publisher shows up and steals the book and sends it off to editors. The rest you will have to read on your own!
This may be a novella folks,but it was a great ride and a great read. The ending was a little creepy but I guess when writing horror you get that!
I recieved this book free in exchange for an honest review.

KILLING THE SS:THE HUNT FOR THE WORST WAR CRIMINALS IN HISTORY BY BILL O'REILLY & MARTIN DUGARD i
KILLING THE SS:THE HUNT FOR THE WORST WAR CRIMINALS IN HISTORY BY BILL O'REILLY & MARTIN DUGARD is the latest in Mr.O'Reilly's "killing" series. This time his focus is on four of the worst and most notorious war criminals in WWII : Adolf Eichmann, the German who coordinated and organized the "Final Solution" resulting in the deaths of millions of Jews. Martin Bormann, Hitler's right hand man and official successor as leader of the Reich . Klaus Barbie SS and Gestapo , who tortured and killed countless adults and children in France to gather intelligence. Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death. Countless horrific experiments were conducted by him. These men & several women are considered among the worst of the worst. We read in the book about how these men and women operated and the atrocities that they committed during WWII on not only Jews but Gypsies, homesexuals and special needs people. We read how Mossad, Israel's newly formed spy network tracked down an brought to trial most of these people. We follow the Nazi Hunters, the Jewish and non Jewish citizens took and used their skills and other people's skills and knowledge to track these people down.
This is a very graphic book,but history has shown us that the Nazi's were not a very nice people. They were monsters and they tortured and murdered millions of men,women and children,some of them , fortunately are still alive today. This is HISTORY & this book takes the Holocaust and puts it out there for all to see.
As with all of Mr.O'reilly's "(killing) books, the book has been greatly researched and put together very well and very organized. I am a huge fan of history and Mr.O'Reilly and Mr.Dugard have put together another great book of people, places and events in a manner that is very organized and very informative in a format that makes you start the book and not stop till you have finished reading the credits! Another excellent book!

PRESIDENTS OF WAR:THE EPIC STORY FROM 1807 TO MODERN TIMES BY MICHAEL BESCHLOSS
PRESIDENTS OF WAR:THE EPIC STORY FROM 1807 TO MODERN TIMES BY MICHAEL BESCHLOSS takes the readers to a very young US and the War of 1812 to modern day war. Each President facing his worst nightmare : a nation at war and how each president handles it. From James Madison who is seen fleeing into the night as the White House burns to modern day, this book is wonderful for us "students of history" like myself. It is NOT, however, a dry book stuffed with just dry facts. It is written to make the history of our country come alive. Even though this is nonfiction (yes there is footnotes galore, ) it lets the reader live the moment and still learn new things about our country and our wars.

NEEDFUL THINGS BY STEPHEN KING
NEEDFUL THINGS BY STEPHEN KING or if you please the LAST CASTLE ROCK story keeps the "Constant Reader" like you and I keep wanting to come back for more. I consider NEEDFUL THINGS one of my top ten in the SK category ! But fair warning, the book is chocked full of foul language, death, drugs and destruction. It also takes the phrase "Caveat Emptor" to whole new level my friends.
Castle Rock is like any other small town, everyone knows everyone and what they are up to. In comes Mr.Leland Gaunt and his tiny "innocent" curio shop NEEDFUL THINGS & literally blows up the little town of Castle Rock. Who or what is Mr.Gaunt? Why his is just a lowly old merchant selling people their needful things that's who is is, or is he ?
Alan Pangborn , Castle Rocks sheriff, still mourning the death of his wife and youngest son is realizing that Castle Rock is falling apart and if he doesn't stop it soon there will be NO Castle Rock left for him to sheriff! Can you say "ABRACADABRA?
