![]() ![]() To the incredible meta references of King’s other works tying many of them together into this alternate universe/story line. ‘No,’ he said, ‘but His girlfriend was a whore.’ ‘Well,’ Roland said, ‘that’s a start.'” (521) ‘Was He ever married?’ The corners of Callahan’s mouth quirked. “‘Your Man Jesus seems to me a bit of a son of a bitch when it comes to women,’ Roland said. ![]() ![]() I felt there was more humor in this book, from this critique of Christianity, However, King’s writing and gentle reminder that all of this is “ka” and eventually will get us to the resolution of the story works perfectly. In almost any other book and/or series an entire book that seems to wander off on a separate story line (and this isn’t the first) would drive me nuts. It’s an amazingly intricate and well written story. I’m really starting to understand why those who love this series REALLY love this series. But, the rest of it has to do with this having the first true cliffhanger in the series. Some of this is of course due to the Amazon Kindle flaw of telling you have 8-10% left in the book when really you have 1-2% and the other 8-9% of those pages are bonus content. I think the biggest issue I have with this book is how quickly it ended. In general, I am LOATHE to enjoy a book as slow as this, let alone a 7(+) book series, but this one is good, really good. ![]() ![]() This results in team loosing sight and the company suffers.

But in the end I felt Nietzsche's racism was as relevant to Nazism as Jack London's. Nietzsche's racism reflects the tone of the times, and there is plenty of conflicting views to support the argument that his sister re-construed his work to fit comfortably with the Nazis. But I doubt one can simply dip one's toe in to Nietzsche anyway - it is a case of diving in head first and trying to make sense of the turmoil. Reading Beyond Good and Evil before attempting this follow-up work would be the more logical option.
