The Tower (Sancti Trilogy 3)

Product Information

Una obra de ficción que da escalofríos si pensamos en lo que actualmente está pasando en países de Oriente, donde además de matanzas y represión se está destruyendo cualquier vestigio de la Historia conocida en nombre de un Dios cualquiera. So I've finished the third book in the Ruin Trilogy and I will tell you'all that The Tower was every bit as good as Sanctus and The Key; not too shabby for a first time author. But even those of us who are clear that we don’t want to write didactic stories still harbour this sneaky hope that by writing really carefully and thoughtfully about people and how they respond to things that somehow we will improve things. Some parts didn't age well. I wouldn't mind 70's references or music or slang, but the characters’ internal thoughts on "women's lib" got to be a bit tedious, especially since the feminist movement, as shown here, seems so far removed from anything I know, and few of the characters took it seriously.

As with many first-time novelists, the writing is uneven; sometimes it’s vivid and evocative, at others overwrought, obvious and cliché-ridden. References to Freud and Shakespeare feel, at times, sophomoric. The investigation into the cold case starts to reveal secrets and possible suspects. The dad is still on the run and one of the daughter's relatives gets involved. An officer is offered a chance to lead a big operation, but he needs to recruit a potentially reluctant team member.In particular with "The Tower" I have a hunch that the inspiration for the book was the World Trade Center construction. I find it prophetic how the events in the books were not terribly unlike what happens in the WTC 30 years after the books were written. WTC was actually a "setting" in "The Tower." Had the collapse of WTC been known to the authors, I think they would have made changes. One thing in both books is comments about how the relaxed building standards in the early 70's lead to the problems....and I know that there had been a contentious debate about building standards during the construction of the WTC. I don't think Stern would have said the steel is "white hot" and not had the building collapse. Saavedra, John (August 7, 2017). "The Dark Tower: Stephen King Easter Eggs and Reference Guide". Den of Geek . Retrieved August 9, 2017. That extended, elaborately planned escape comes at the beginning, and it’s one of the most effective and best-written sequences in the entire novel. Hurwitz, who’s also a screenwriter and comic book author, knows how to create visually gripping and suspenseful scenes. And meeting the inmates in the eponymous “Tower” is creepy, shiver-inducing fun. La storia narrata è estremamente intrigante, ben strutturata e ricca di colpi di scena che tengono alta l'attenzione del lettore e impediscono di mettere giù il libro! I capitoli scorrono velocissimi man mano che ci si addentra nella storia e si cerca di dipanare il mistero che ne è il fulcro. The third arc, The Dark Tower: Treachery, began publication on September 10, 2008. A hardcover volume containing all 6 issues was released on April 21, 2009.

The Glass Inferno" was much better, a really fun read. It's interesting to feel the zeitgeist of the early 1970's in the two books but it was much more apparent in "The Glass Inferno." Stephen King saw The Dark Tower series as a first draft, initially planning to rewrite it. However, after revising The Gunslinger, "he is trying to decide how much he can rewrite." [2]

En general me pareció que la obra es bastante anticuada. Hay algunos intentos de crítica social: el autor pone en tela de juicio los motivos que llevan al ser humano a desarrollar obras como esta, una torre de 125 pisos sin ninguna necesidad; se evidencia cómo la irresponsabilidad y el egoísmo de algunos van generando un cúmulo de errores trágico; y se cuestiona sobre todo a la clase política norteamericana, tan alejada de la realidad, inmersa en su propia burbuja. Pero todas estas propuestas creo que son tratadas con superficialidad, y el autor se muestra dubitativo, más bien filosofando en torno al sentido de la vida que tomando una postura de denuncia firme. Cierto es que el tipo de escenario propuesto da lugar a mostrar cómo las situaciones límite sacan el verdadero carácter de las personas, pero creo que el autor desaprovechó la oportunidad. Not so hot. The Tower ranks up there as the most grizzly, gory, and disturbing. Atlasia was abused/raped as a little boy, and his mind was damaged much more than his body. The author went to extraordinary lengths to describe bloody scenes and the over-the-top horrible abuse Atlasia inflicts on victims.Lizzie Griffiths then disappears, and DPS officer Sarah Collins is determined to uncover the truth. I read "The Glass Inferno" then "The Tower" and then watched the movie "Towering Inferno." I had seen the movie years ago and remembered a lot but it was very interesting to see how the elements of the film were derived from the two books. More of the movie came from the "The Glass Tower" but some key parts also came from "The Tower." Is that enough to push a teenage girl – especially one traumatised by spending two years in a refugee camp before her father could enable her to join him in Britain – to plan revenge by harming a five-year-old? Without him Liv Adamsen, a former journalist, is vulnerable, surrounded by strangers in the desert oasis that is her new home. Liv, however, has far bigger concerns than just her own life… When they first arrived, they came quietly and stealthily as if they tip-toed into the world when we were all looking the other way.'
