Sintesi dell'editore

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....

©1987 Stephen King (P)1991 Penguin Audiobooks

Phenomenal second installment

A real nailbiter of a story, the narrator is fantastic with great diversity of voice. The story is likewise written skillfully by King with excellent pacing and interesting characters.

A Great Book

More of a series of character introductions with little real headway made toward the Tower, but the characters are amazing, as are the circumstances under which they're introduced and it's written and performed with skill. As i said, there's not much distance made toward the Tower here or what even awaits them there, but the adventures the Gunslinger goes on to 'draw the three' are full of peril, wonder, intrigue, tension, drama and all with a surprising amount of humor throughout. The beach, the doors, the lobstrocities (dad-a-chum?) are wonderfully realised. Other than the vivid presence that is the Gunslinger, it's peppered with excellently written characters all-round with scenes tackled from multiple angles and points of view in way that makes such writing seem easy, when it certainly is not. A real 'page' turner (if there is such a thing in an audio book), often engrossing and an incredible performance from Frank Muller. I can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to listen to The Wastelands to see how the journey continues...

Introduction of new characters and great narrator

I loved the audio version which is very vivid, the narrator’s voice and style are perfectly suited for the book. I am a big fan of Frank Muller!

Great writing but slightly thin story

If you could sum up The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three in three words, what would they be?

Slightly thin story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Roland and Eddie Dean seem to be a good match for one another

What three words best describe Frank Muller’s performance?

Nowhere near the performance of George Guidall who read the first book in the series, The Gunslinger. Frank Muellers narration feels laboured and uncomfortable, a monotonous droning that from time to time made me pause the story to give my ears a break. His voice for Eddie is identical with Lenny from the Simpsons, which makes the emotional complexity that King tries to weave into his character unconvincing. Not a good performance at all.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

One tower, three gunslingers

Any additional comments?

This story, while interesting and extremely well written, is not quite as engaging as the first of the series. I was drawn to Roland, to his quest, his perfection, his solitude in this world that has somehow moved on. The contribution by Eddie and Susanna and their emotional baggage and split personalities amount to little more than a confusing distraction for which there seems to be little justification at least for the time being. Eddie and Susannas relationship is confusing, their romance is surprising and not credible. Who married them?And why is east on their left side when they are travelling north, up the beach? Something to find out later, perhaps...

Anyone else keep thinking this is the third book?

Despite it being clearly numbered, I keep remembering this story as the third of the series rather than the second, and I fall into the trap of thinking there hasn't been as much development by this stage as there should be. Then I realise my mistake and I'm impressed all over again how so many new characters and developments are worked into the story. This is a great second volume to what starts as quite a confusing story, with more exposition worked into the narrative than you'll realise until a future re-reading.

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

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.

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.

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.
