My favorite of the Dark Tower books. Roland enters our world to find allies in his quest to find the Dark Tower. Roland's culture clash as he faces things like abundance of paper, pants on women, and tuna fish sandwiches alone makes this book a joy to read. ( )

The Drawing of the three is the second book in the Dark Tower series. King moves from the western genre to a more sci-fi feel as the protagonist Roland moves between his world and different time periods in ours to draw the three people he will need to complete his quest. The crossing of time lines creates paradoxes with the storyline in the previous book, and even Roland momentarily wonders if he has screwed up his own time line (but decides that he doesn't care.) This book feels less cold, and more personal, than the first book did. ( )

Riveting. truly excelent ( )

Excellent Artwork. ( )

Arguably the weakest book in the Dark Tower series, The Drawing of the Three still serves its purpose of introducing us to pivotal characters Eddie and Susannah. Hard to handle at times -- the lobstrosities gave me the willies -- but worth the effort to get through, if only to advance the story. ( )
