Summary: Gives you the oomph to want to read the rest ...
Comment: Though I liked THE GUNSLINGER plenty, I have to admit that this book is the one that really reels you into THE DARK TOWER series. It flows seemlessly from THE GUNSLINGER - in a way, THE DRAWING OF THE THREE is what you wake up to from the more dreamlike quality of THE GUNSLINGER. You will not be sorry you carried on with this series.
One of the great things about this book is that Stephen King breaks a few rules in the storyline i.e. the protagonist can't lose integral body parts early on a the series! King says screw the rules - and now that I'm almost done with THE WASTE LANDS - I think I understand a bit more why he felt it necessary to show the fallability of Roland, our tragic and mysterious and otherwise bad--- hero.
Anyhow, I won't go into anymore details of the book - I doubt I need to say much more about it as, if you're reading these reviews, you've probably already realized that it is your Ka that you read this book, and all the rest of them as well. By the way, I recommend going ahead and buying THE WASTE LANDS with this order since you'll undoubtedly fly through THE DRAWING ... Enjoy!

Summary: Better Than The First
Comment: The Drawing of the Three is the second volume in Stephen King's famous Dark Tower series. The novel is better than the first book in the series, The Gunslinger, mostly because of the rich characters which King intoduces in the novel. Eddie Dean is a fascinating character. Funny and to the point, and by the end of the novel, demanding and hopeless at the same time. Odetta Holmes is one of the better female characters King has created in his time. Even Jack Mort, who is only in the novel for the final three chapters is interesting in his devilish way. The novel consists of many periods of desert and nothing much but talking and thinking from the characters, but that's what makes the book good. We like the characters so much, that they can talk about virtually nothing for ten pages, and we don't even care. Roland, the last gunslinger, continues to fascinate me as he continues his quest to the Dark Tower. I must say, that I am now intersted, and ready for the rest of the journey.

Summary: Best book of the series so far
Comment: I really loved this book. The pace of the book is perfect. This book is the start of Roland's journey and the piecing together of his ka-tet. You never know what King is going to do with these characters, he takes them on a journey that they have to put their faith in Roland a man from a world much different than theirs. This book starts off where the last book ended and it puts Roland in an almost impossible situation right off which leads to incredible tension throughout the whole book because you don't know if the hero of the books is going to make it. This book starts to answer some of the questions that you may have after reading "The Gunslinger" but still leaves a lot unanswered. I can't say enough about this book, if you liked the gunslinger even a little bit you should continue with the story because reading this book is definitely worth it.
