Summary

Stephen King's epic fantasy series, The Dark Tower, is being made into a major movie starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Due in cinemas February 17, 2017 USA.

In the second novel of King's best-selling fantasy masterpiece, Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, encounters three doors which open to 1980s America. Here he joins forces with the defiant Eddie Dean and courageous, volatile Odetta Holmes. And confronts deadly serial killer Jack Mort.

As the titanic forces gather, a savage struggle between underworld evil and otherworldly enemies conspire to bring an end to Roland's quest for the Dark Tower....

Masterfully weaving dark fantasy and icy realism, The Drawing of the Three compulsively propels listeners toward the next chapter.

And the Tower is closer....

Fantastic

Another fantastic novel by Stephen King. When I first read The Gunslinger (The First in the Dark Tower Novel) it felt to me, more like a Western. I had a vision of Clint Eastwood in a bad Western movie. I pushed through it as it's Stephen King and I expected that The Dark Tower series as a whole would get better and really bring out the parts of King's books that I love and that I have come to expect from the master that is Stephen King.

At the very start of The Drawing of the Three, it grabbed me. It struck me straight away as different from The Gunslinger and once this one grabbed me, it didn't let me go, not even for a second. Every word of this book drew me in and I was fully under the spell. It is a great novel and one that read more like a Fantasy.

If you are planning on reading The Dark Tower series and you are unsure about it, I urge you to read it anyway. Push your way through The Gunslinger if you have to because you will not regret it once you get to this novel.

The Drawing of the Three has me firmly in the Dark Tower series and I can't wait to read more of it.

Re visiting one of my favourite stories

I am revisiting the whole collection of dark tower, it is one of my all time favourite stories. I urge anyone who hasn't listened to it to give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed

A new Narrator

I admit that this is one of my real pet hates with Audiobooks that are a series when the Narrator changes between books. I have tried not to base my review on it being a new Narrator, rather just how I find listening to this Narrator in his own right. The book I give five stars, no question, Great story but I am sure the narration style would have grated with me equally in the first book. It is a pity that we only have the single rating option here as I would like to give the book 5* for plot but 3* for narration. I am trying to get used to it and ignore the times it grates as I really enjoy the story and this Narrator comes again in series. I am sure I can get used to it and its not so bad I would say it is a huge problem. I just cannot get the "movie trailer voice" style of Narration to sit well in my mind yet, but I am sure I can put up with it and it may not be so bad once I am used to it.

Hated the narrator

I was super happy with the 1st book and I love the book series so much. But Frank Muller already ruined the Talisman for me. I don't think I can handle another part read by him. His voice does not at all match the mood of the book and he is so insanely overacting every single sentence.

Dear God... The narrator...

Impossible to listen to this guy! It might be a great book, but this narrator just turned me off of it massively..

Epic and fantastic

I thought to use this as a wind down tool before bed, I hadn't considered that I wouldn't be able to turn it off, that I would want "one more chapter, just one more"

Worst narrator ever

I love these books, having read them all pretty much as they were published. The narrator of volume one was not great, but this guy is awful, he reads this like he is doing the trailer for a 1980s action movie, and he reads really fast, tiring to listen to :(

Narrator changed from book one!

I didn't really get a chance to review the story seeing as the narrator was so terribly rushed I didn't feel I could catch a breath. Book returned unread.

Supernatural duma chuck dida chick

I was totally absorbed in the first 3 hours of this book as Roland battles with hideous lobsters on the beach, and then came the door. Moments later he is on a plane inside the mind of the rooky kid Eddie Dean. Stephen King takes us on another supernatural roller coaster in this superb series of books charting the course of Roland and the Dark Tower.
