The second in the Dark Tower series is less about Roland's world and more about ours. Roland's commentaries of our world are insightful and fun. King is an older in this book in the series and it shows, but I still feel this book is missing an overall message. There's a bunch of interesting stuff, but overall it doesn't sum up to a coherent message. A fun read nonetheless. ( )

Better than the first book in the series. ( )

Next to The Gunslinger, this is my favorite of the Dark Tower series. It introduces the concept of traveling between our world and Roland's world, and sets up the ka-tet, or group of characters bound by fate, who will drive the rest of the series. ( )

The second book of the Dark Tower series. This is a work of art quite unlike any of Kings other works. It is a fantasy story but it is more than that. It is magic. ( )

After reading The Dark Tower Book I: The Gunslinger, which I very much enjoyed, I wasn't sure I wanted to immerse myself into a seven book series. After reading The Dark Tower Book II: The Drawing of the Three, I can't imagine not reading the entire series and then wanting more. Fantastic book. It can only get better from here. I am so looking forward to The Dark Tower: The Waste Lands Book III ( )
