Quick review:

Really good book! I was captivated by the wonderful descriptions. SK did a great job! Make sure you have a wild imagination...because you will be using it!

Regarding the audiobook version

The story is okay. It's compelling enough that I'll probably go on to read the next one. But what I really wanted to say is that it's hard sometimes to listen to audiobooks without laughing. They're so cheesy. For The Drawing of the Three, they've hired someone who sounds like the Deep Voice Hollywood Movie Trailor Guy. You know, the one who always says "In a world where..." So you know... if you don't mind listening to that deep, very serious voice telling a 13 hour story (and also trying to do a variety of character voices that end up just sounding completely rediculous) then, well, go for it.

A grand continuation of the Dark Tower saga

It is difficult to provide an accurate review of a book that-in all practical sense of the words-has neither beginning nor end. The Drawing of The Three, the second installment of King's monumental Dark Tower series, opens directly after the climax of The Gunslinger. It is in The Drawing of The Three that The Dark Tower really finds its true voice and its true nature. A large portion of the book takes place in our "real world", in the city of New York where Roland recruits those bound by destiny to quest for the Tower. The focus of the tale is this gathering of journeyers and their unique stories.

Once again, King's imagination is indescribably vivid. The world of the Dark Tower is rife with truly real and wonderful characters. Their perils are agonizing, their stories are heart-rending, and the reader leaves with a true sense of wonder and awe. Throughout the series, there is a very real, believable sense that there is immensely more to our world that what meets the eyes.

Here is an enthralling world of wonder and fantasy that draws the reader to it with all the majesty and power of the Dark Tower itself.
