Stephen King returns to the Dark Tower in this second mesmerizing volume in his epic series. Roland of Gilead has mysteriously stepped through a doorway in time that takes him to 1980s America, where he joins forces with the defiant Eddie Dean and courageous Odetta Holmes. A savage struggle has begun in which underworld evil and otherworldly enemies conspire to bring an end to Roland's desperate search for the Dark Tower. Masterfully weaving dark fantasy and icy realism, The Drawing of the Three compulsively propels readers toward the next chapter. Set in a world of extraordinary circumstances, filled with stunning visual imagery and unforgettable characters, The Dark Tower series is unlike anything you've ever read. Here is Stephen King's most visionary piece of storytelling, a magical mix of fantasy and horror that may well be his crowning achievement.

I wasn't so hooked after reading the first book in this now seven (7) book series, The Gunslinger, but that has now changed. I'm aware of what cult classics The Dark Tower books have become and I was curious to check it out. Guided by Tolkien, King writes his fantasy series and I need to find out how it all ends. Suspense, Mystery, Fantasy, Horror: All genres in which you could place these books. My only Stephen King experience is through these first two books of this series, though rest assured I will now read more of his work (starting with books 3-7!!). He writes in such a way that is so easy to follow. He writes these books like I would think the same words. They are very easy and fun to read.
