In this installment, Roland continues on his quest to find the Dark Tower. He must find the people behind three of the Tarot cards that The Man in Black drew. Each of these people are behind different doors along a beach. A beach full of weird and hungey crab-like creatures. Follow Roland as he encounters these creatures, fights an infection, almost loses his life multiple times, and finds a junkie, a schizophrenic, and a murderer. Find out how these people play a role in Roland's quest.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. Initially, it was confusing with the events at the first door, but by the time the second door came around, all confusion was cleared up. This installment answered some questions about Roland and his life, while creating more questions at the same time. I enjoyed this book, even though I had to take more breaks from it as a lot was happening, but I still cannot wait for the third book in the series.
