Gain Access To The Dark Tower #1-3 Presented By Stephen King Disseminated As Pamphlet

plot with ludicrous characters and relationships, . . This series gives the fantasy genre a whole new meaning with its preposterous subplots, . . I found it to be 'goofy' and 'nonsensical' in many areas, . . The only individual with any merit in the series is Roland, and his impact is muted continuously by the exasperating presence of Eddie and Susannah it hurts to even type their names, who certainly rank at the top in terms of the most annoying characters I have ever come across in any book.
. . I am a Stephen King fan, but this just did not work for me, . . He should stick to the thriller and horror field where he thrives, Bookis a bit of a struggle but after that you're hooked! Bookjust makes you want to read every one of them again!! An over thousand page bind up of all three of the fabulous King "The Dark Tower" novels the titles of which include "The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger", "The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three" and "The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands".
Dark, twisted, Stephen Kingesque. But never ending. He's up to bookorat this point and I'm going to need to reread these before I can get through the whole series,

The series follows the story of Roland, a sort of latter day sixshooter knight from an alternate world where sorcery and demons run side by side with science.


Roland seeks a man in black through the first book, makes some friends in the second book, they travel afar in the third, they continue the journey in the fourth while Roland does some childhood flashbacks the whole time and I haven't read the rest yet.


Some cool stuff that I started reading when I was a lifeguard at a tiny community pool empty until the weekends and had a lot of time to read.
I'm picking this option to save time in reviewing all three, because I believe the power comes from reading the three together more so than individually, The gunslinger series is one that my mind comes to over and over, Roland is a powerful character in my mind, no doubt because he's very much so a part of Kings, The first book is one of King's first, and it shows, However, in typical King fashion, it's the perfect character development for you to understand Roland as you progress to The Drawing of the Three, Bookis one of my hands down favorites ever, really digging deep on how we look at our world and these characters as they push to become more together than they'll ever be apart.
This pushes into Waste Lands which is a love it or hate it book, Because of my connection with Jake, I loved it, Seeing the characters connect and Roland grow to correct past mistakes is a journey I was very much up for, The unfortunate part is, despite reading them all, the final books in the series are disappointing, The ending, while appropriate, ended in true King style of seeming to be thrown together because he was done developing the characters, That being said, these three are top of the tops for me, To me, these were interesting but not my favorite, These three books were still very good stories though, sitelinkBook: The Gunslinger
sitelinkBook: The Drawing of the Three
sitelinkBook: The Waste Lands I just can't say enough good things about this work.
The plot, the characters, the writing yes Stephen King's writing all kept me enthralled, I was so happy when the final book came out, I'm currently "rereading" the series via audiobook and it's just as good the second time around, When a seventome series is worth rereading, that's saying something, This is thend of thein the Dark Tower series, I have always appreciated how Stephen King can easily slide me into an alternate universe and this was did not disappoint, Titles

include The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger, The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three and The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands, Book: The Gunslinger

Grim and intriguing with occasional bursts of philosophical genius, but far too vague in detail and plot direction, Even after having finished the novel, I have no sense of direction of where the plot is heading or where it was ever meant to be heading in the first place.
The motivations of the characters, the setting and the story were lost in a jumbled sea of hallucinatory prose and characters speaking in riddles, I have so many unanswered questions that I had to sit back and think about what the hell I just read before writing a review,

The only thing that kept me going was the relationship between Roland and the man in black, I dont know enough about either of them too sympathize with their respective struggles, but theyre both so darn interesting that Im dying to learn more about them and the things that drive such cold and distant men.


Despite feeling a bit unsatisfied with the novels conclusion, Im curious to see how such a mysterious and intriguing introduction spanned this long of a series.
I feel like this book was less of a fully realized tale that could serve as a standalone work and more of a massive prologue for the real story.
Not too impressed, but impressed just enough to want to read the rest of the series to see where it goes,



Book: The Drawing of the Three

After being fairly disappointed with the first book, the second book completely defied my expectations and gave me the deep characterization, coherent narrative and hardcore action that the first book was severely lacking in.
I was blown away by what a massive improvement this book was over the first one, This time, I actually feel excited for the next installment and like I have a better grasp on the world and the protagonists goal, This was a much more complete and selfcontained experience,

The best part of this book was easily the introduction of Eddie and Odetta, a foul mouthed heroin junkie and a woman suffering from severe schizophrenia.
Not only were they incredible characters in their own right, but they also brought out some muchneeded personality out of Roland, The three of them being on page simultaneously was a joy to behold, Sometimes it was tragic, sometimes it was hilarious, sometimes it was terrifying and sometimes it was beautifully human,

The chemistry between the three unstable misfits kept the tension and the emotion high at all times, Now that Roland has gathered the necessary crew to continue his journey, where will destiny take them Im eager to find out,



Book: The Wastelands

The ridiculously slow pacing, the jumping around between various settings and the lack of progression in many areas definitely got under my skin quite a few times, but the payoff to each of the individual story arcs always left me feeling satisfied and entertained enough to move on to the next one.


Here's the funny thing though, I find myself no longer caring about Roland's purpose or the Tower itself, the thing that I really enjoy about these books are the interactions between the incredibly broken characters and watching how they grow beyond their individual flaws through mutual suffering and bonding.
Tough times bring people together, as they say,

I also enjoyed the introduction of Oy, a silly bird creature that feels like the classic video game traveling companion, The four misfits and their furry companion bring a lot of joy, tears and dark humor to life and I care more about their bonds with each other than the actual plot and mystery of the Tower itself.
As much as I love their antics, I hope the future books in this series will make me care more about the actual plot and conclusion, .
