Summary: Stunning
Review: This is is an exceptional volume in an exceptional series, and in my opinion is the best of the 'Dark Tower' books so far. Why? One word: Pacing. Some reviewers on this page have claimed that this book 'dragged' and was 'boring,' but I disagree: from the sweat-inducing desperation of 'the prisoner' trying to ditch 2 kilos of coke on a 747 and the subsequent gangster shoot-out, to the cold precision of the gunslinger's efforts to aquire bullets and medicene in 1970's New York, this book never stops. -The Drawing of the Three- also contains humor that is lacking in the later books. Minor flaws: 'The Lady of the Shadows' was slightly slow, but torturous fun, all the same. More difficult to contain are the inaccuracies of time: if Mort was about to push Jake (via 1977) how could he have pushed Odetta 'three years before,' which would have been in 1959? There are a few others, to, but this book is such a fantastic ride through King's imagination that I can't feel insulted. The prose in the 'Gunslinger' is more evocative, 'The Waste Lands' and 'Wizard and Glass' both have their ups and downs, but this is King at his best.

Summary: From a King-hater to a King-reader
Review: If you've never read King, read this. If not for the short story King wrote for the novel, "Legends," I would have never had any interest in his work. I bought "Legends" for the Orson Scott Card and Robert Jordan stories, and now have the Dark Tower to look forward to. If King's other works are on par with what I've read of this series so far, it looks like I will have plenty of stuff to read for quite some time.

Summary: Great novel, thought it was captivating.

Summary: A must read in the dark tower series
Review: This is the book that shows how cunning and caring Roland can be. He travels through different periods of time to meet with his soon to be traveling companions, who really don't have much of a choice at the time but to come to Rolands world were all worlds seem to be at the same time.

Summary: Crazy
Review: This second part of "The dark tower" is even better than the first, although the story is completely crazy, maybe when King himself was mostly depending on his vice to do his work. The action takes place in a beach in the moved-on world, and Roland has to walk along the beach finding doors that lead him to OUR known New York, where he enters the mind of people he has to drag to HIS world and help him in the quest of his Dark Tower. The story is completely unbelievable, but one who buys any book of this series must know that this in fact is a work of pure fantasy, like "The eyes of the dragon". The book is packed with the usual King stuff: crazy unknown animals, one heroine-addicted, one woman with two different personalities, and a lunatic whose hobby is to push people to death. It's a very, very odd book. I regret the fact that the Man in Black has so little part in the story. For me, he's King's character I like best. This book has little to do with the first one in the series, "The Gunslinger". They share the main character, Roland, and his purpose in life, reaching the infamous Tower. Nothing else. There are some parts really funny, specially when Roland is in our world and has problems related to our language. I think King shouldn't have spent a whole book with this plot. It's an easy read, enjoyable. I just hope "The wastelands" is better. And I surely hope King has a REAL BIG surprise waiting his custom readers when Roland reaches the Tower.
