Rating: Summary: This book is great!! Review: If you like Stephen King, you have to like this entire series. The story goes right along, and the images it produces are fantastic! I read this book twice already, and I have read the other books in the series as many times. This is a must read if you're a King fan!
Rating: Summary: Most gripping of the four volumes of the Dark Tower saga Review: I had to commute for 5 weeks at four hours per day; so I tuned into the 42-reel Dark Tower series by Stephen King recorded by Penguin as narrated by Frank Muller. I loved all 420,000 words and nobody can do it like Frank; accept no substitutes! I can't recall any of the 60 plus commute hours but I have dreams about Midworld and travelling the path of the beam. There isn't any part of the entire series I would have missed but the Drawing of the Three is the most gripping.This from somebody who has even now never "read" a book by Stephen King!
Rating: Summary: la Review: this is a great book not the best of the dark tower books this books main purpos is to introduce the main charecters and thats why this book is not only great but important
Rating: Summary: Dark Tower leaning Review: The promising start of the Dark Tower saga in The Gunslinger is aborted in this clunker.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books ever wrote. Review: The drawing of the three one of king's best books I have ever read. I haver read all the dark tower books and this exceeds them all. I am anxious for the next dark tower book. and I rate this one five stars. And I reccomend reading the first one before the others.
Rating: Summary: A great King thriller Review: It was a great bookn that I think is the best i've read. I have read all the dark tower books released and this is deffinetley the best.
Rating: Summary: And the quest for the tower continues Review: The Dark Tower series' second book is even better then the first. Fast paced and full of King's dark imagry. This book is what really got me into ther series. I could barely put it down. I'm following the Dark Tower series all the way to the end.
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: Great novel, thought it was captivating. Review: This book so good it was hard for me to put it down. It is so far the best in the series.
