This is the second book in the Dark Tower series by King. If you are unsure about starting a 7-book epic, as I was, let me assure you - if you a fan of Stephen King or fantasy fiction, you will not regret reading this series. The Drawing of The Three mixes our world, New York, with Roland's world as he crosses the line to draw his 3 companions who will join him on his journey to The Dark Tower - companions who, at first, don't believe what is happening to them, indeed fight to get back into their world rather than face ka - that is, to become gunslingers themselves. The mixture of spaghetti western and great fantasy continues as the worlds interact and Roland's three become a ka-tet.
I've enjoyed reading this series so much I'm on my 6th time through it! There are many different ways to get these books- some hard cover, some paper back, each has different illustrations by different atrists or no illustrations. Although it is nice to get hard covers, I find getting the cheapest paperbacks is more economical as they are read frequently. Such is the case with this version! Cheap, but still quality and still the same great epic story!
Even if you are not a Stephen King fan, the Dark Tower series is worth reading. It is an intriging story of a magical, dangerous and very complex world that at times becomes connected to the 'real' world. If you are a Stephen King fan, you will soon discover that this other world has broken through and made itself known to you in a lot of your favorite Stephen King books. Whatever your opinion of Stephen King (good writer or hack), the Dark Tower series is good entertainment.
I love these books so much! This was a brand new copy and it was so reasonably priced. It shipped quickly. I'm very happy.
