Book Description

Publication Date: 18 Aug 2003 | Series: Dark Tower
Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, encounters three doors which open to 1980s America, where he joins forces with the defiant Eddie Dean and courageous, volatile Odetta Holmes. And confronts deadly serial killer Jack Mort.



As the titanic forces gather, a savage struggle between underworld evil and otherworldly enemies conspire to bring an end to Roland's quest for the Dark Tower...



Masterfully weaving dark fantasy and icy realism, THE DRAWING OF THE THREE compulsively propels readers toward the next chapter.



And the Tower is closer...

'Join the quest before it's too late' (Independent on Sunday on THE SONG OF SUSANNAH )

'Pulse-poundingly engaging' (Sunday Express on THE SONG OF SUSANNAH )

'Classic King, fine characters, compellingly written in a gripping, well-honed plot' (Daily Express on WOLVES OF THE CALLA )

'Superbly energetic, it's King at his best' (Mail on Sunday on WIZARD AND GLASS )

King's magnificent uberstory is finally complete... King's achievement is startling; his characters fresh... his plot sharply drawn... It is magic. (Daily Express on The Dark Tower )

5.0 out of 5 stars Dud a Chum? 30 Mar 2004
By "jonabruno"
Format:Paperback
The second book in the greatest series of books ever written in my opinion. The first book did just enough to hold my attention and make me wonder what might happen, but this, this book catapulted me into full fledged Dark Tower addiction. Whilst in this particular instalment (if one was being perfectly honest) not a much happens, it is one of those books you cannot put down. By the end of it your most likely response will be “woo, that was great, but what happened?”

The story is basically a continuation of Roland of Gilead’s journey, almost entirely set on a beach with wandering lobstrocities (Dad a Chack?) and doors set into nothing! King continues developing the wonderful character that is Roland, whilst he draws the 3 the title demands. The drawing of the three ensures Roland’s band of pilgrims is as wonderfully diverse as possible with the drawing of a motor mouth heroine addict and a schizophrenic black girl from different times of ‘our’ New York. A wonderful twist at the end leaves you yearning for the third instalment.

I cannot rate this book high enough, if you enjoy extremely well written fantasy adventure stories, you must continue with the journey towards the Dark Tower. It will make you laugh, make you think but most of all it will sap several hours of joyous time and transport you into Roland’s world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best in the series 6 Jun 2005
By The Red King
Format:Paperback
It's the 1980's, Stephen King is at the peak of his career, we've already had The Stand, Salems Lot, Carrie and of course The Gunslinger. Now King turns his attention once more to the Dark Tower, and this time he's doing it in style. DOTT comes packed full of intense and hardcore action. From the beginning Roland comes under attack by beasts he calls 'lobstrosities'. But this book also introduces two new characters, who will in event join Roland on his epic quest. These are neurotic, class clown, heroin junkie Eddie Dean, and Schizophrenic, wheel-chair bound Oddeta Homes/ Detta Walker. Undoubtedly the greatest additon is that of Eddie, he is a perfectly well rounded character who offers laugh-out-loud comedy as well as heart wrenching drama. Yet Detta Walker, Oddetas dark-half will having you cursing in frustration as you watch the others struggle through there journey. Finally the conclusion to this book will have you feeling light-hearted and full of relief that is until you read the next, and arguably superior installment of the DT series, the Wastelands...

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Stephen King "other world" since The Talisman. 17 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The Dark Tower series follows Roland of Gilead, the last Gunslinger or Knight of the Old World in his quest for the Dark Tower. Throughout, his past and motives are slowly being revealed. The world through which he travels is in some ways reminiscent of our own, and the implications of the similarities just keep growing..... An absolutely superb, ongoing story from the master storyteller. Highly recommended, and please do read the books in the right order - it's worth it!

This Stephen King is superb for me but would not suit all tastes. You must start with book one of the Dark Tower series (The Gunslinger) to really appreciate it.
