The loving relations Eddie and Odetta form is so great and real.įinally we come to Jack Mort. I loved her initial reaction to seeing Eddie with the knife: so calm and collected, despite being thrown from her world, and to quote Eminem: "snapped back to reality". She too is an interesting character (despite King's mimicking of a loony black woman is hard to read at times).
The next door leads us to the schizophrenic Odetta Holmes/Detta Walker. The whole Leaning Tower (Roland's confusion at seeing the neon sign gave a laugh) sequence is phenomenal, from the dialogue between Balazar/his goons and Eddie/Roland to the shoot-out. The sky-carriage sequence is a tense one because you're constantly wondering what Roland can do to save him from Customs. Recovering junkie who's fallen in with a bad crowd (and all to help his brother out of a jam). Upon this Roland begins to weaken but never falters/pushes onto the first of three mystical doors. Straight away it throws you in the deep end with the vicious attack from the Lobtrosities (love that name for them) wherein Roland's gunslinging abilities are disabled by the loss of fingers and a toe. The story continues from where we left Roland on the coast at the end of the first book (now with the new knowledge from the man in black). Obviously its longer than The Gunslinger, which didn't affect my enjoyment whatsoever (enhanced it if anything). JOIN THE QUEST FOR THE DARK TOWER.Well, that's me finished the second novel in the Dark Tower series: The Drawing of the Three. As titanic forces gather, a savage struggle between underworld evil and otherworldly enemies threatens to bring an end to Roland's journey toward the Dark Tower. Mort is stalking Jake, the young boy Roland met in Mid-World. The final door reveals Jack Mort, a deadly serial killer, in the 1970s. The second door leads to the 1960s and conflicted civil rights activist Odetta Holmes.
In 1980s New York, Roland joins forces with defiant Eddie Dean. He must draw the three who should accompany him on the road. In the second novel of Stephen King's bestselling fantasy masterpiece, Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, encounters three mysterious doors which open - for Roland, and Roland alone - to different times in our world. The Dark Tower is now a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba. THE DRAWING OF THE THREE is the second volume in Stephen King's epic Dark Tower series.
