The Drawing of the Three (The Dark Tower #2)

I flew through this book. The narrator is different from the first book, but after the initial surprise I got over that and grew to like the narrator. He does a good job with the lady of shadows. 62 people found this helpful

This book has me going back and forth between loving it and being sick to death of it every few chapter. I love the character Roland and his relentless need to reach the Dark Tower at any cost. The whole antihero thing is over played these days but Roland is the exception to this over-done trope. He will sacrifice any and all to complete his mission and it\’s fantastic. It brings a complexity to his character and his position as the last gunslinger. Roland\’s world, the one in which has \”moved on\”, is interesting and entertaining. Unfortunately, we don\’t spend much time exploring it in this story due to him spending most of his time on one beach and the rest in our world. The best glimpses we get into Roland\’s world is when he compares our world to his. The main problem I have with the book is that we get way too much Detta, who speaks like the most obnoxious characters of a black person ever. I understand it was intentional but that doesn\’t make it any less obnoxious and insulting to listen to. Also, this book is missing a villain like the Man in Black, someone mysterious and evil to go up against. There\’s a lot working against our heroes but nothing like vampire spirits, evil preachers, or a murderous town like in the 1st book. Though I don\’t love the book, I did enjoy it enough to want to read the next one. This is mostly due to Roland being a perfectly realized and interesting character and the mystery of his quest. Everything else is just a little bland. 37 people found this helpful

The content of this book is more enjoyable than the first. But, the narration is irritating. Muller puts a growl in his voice that doesn\’t add anything to the story. I\’m looking forward to book 3. 51 people found this helpful

I read these books a long time ago, and the audible version of the first was deeply disappointing due to poor narration. however, Frank Muller does a much better job, and i enjoyed listening to Roland\’s quest over the beach. 16 people found this helpful
