The best from the DT series.

Can I give it 6?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Wow, I thought I was going to be the only low vote for this one but I guess I'm not alone. I know I'm in the minority on this site, but the Dark Tower is just not for me. I just re-read this one a few weeks ago for a SK bookclub I go to. I wasn't a fan the first time, so I was hoping this time maybe I would see what others saw in it, but that did not happen. It was just so boring, I didn't even want to finish it. It really was a struggle, and if it wasn't for bookclub I would have stopped and not wasted any time on it. To me it just felt like it could have been condensed down into a few chapters of a larger book.
yup... that's how I felt with almost the WHOLE Dark Tower Series. Except #4 that is, that one was great. I guess I enjoy character building histories/lore more than a guy walking through a desert stealing a junkie, a crazy woman, and a 3rd person that I am not going to ruin in case someone hasn't read it.Originally Posted by Heather19
My favorite book from the series.
I thought it was "meh". It felt a little boring at the time. Wanted it to be more mid-world centric. Maybe a reread will change my mind, but it probably would only because now I am familiar with all the new characters introduced.

Overall I found DT2 to be a pretty blunt instrument of a book with much that didn't hit the mark for me, but there are parts that are quite gripping and (if done right) would absolutely crackle on the screen.

The poll has closed. The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.214285714 or 84.29%. It received a rating of 5 with 15 votes.
Missed the poll. 5. Not the best of the series for me, but up there.

5 from me. I love its raw, visceral power.
