stormlightreader 's review for:
The Drawing of the Three
by Stephen King
I'm grateful for the Gunslinger recap at the start of this book because having read it 5 years ago, I remembered nothing about it. I enjoyed The Drawing of the Three way more than I did The Gunslinger. Even though it was slow, I liked the whole idea of the portals and how Roland is gathering his people. The setting (mostly set in NYC) was good and I love the so-called 'lobstrocities'.
I enjoyed the introduction of the new characters. At first I wasn’t fond of Eddie but I got to like him more. Odetta/Detta (two women living in one body) is an interesting one but I found one of them quite abrasive. Jack was interesting to read about and how his story linked with another character. I'm still unsure how much I like Roland but I'm quite taken with a gunslinger who is missing fingers and cannot use both guns. Great! I'm keen to know more about his fascination with The Dark Tower, but so far, I've not seen much about Roland that intrigues me.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one and it was a quicker read than I expected.
