The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three | Stephen King
Title: The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three Author: Stephen King In case you were wondering, I have spent the past several years reading the works of Stephen King in order. As I'm usually reading three or four books at a time, the process has been somewhat slow. That said, at some point in the past year or two, I read the first Dark Tower book. I hated it. I absolutely detested it. I felt like I was missing something, because almost everyone I know who reads the works of Stephen King loves The Dark Tower. I hated the characters, I hated the plot...I just couldn't find much redeeming about the story. The best comparison I can think of is watching Mad Max: Fury Road. People were raving about that movie, and I just didn't get it. I could appreciate that the visual effects were stunning, but what was the point of the movie? In like manner, I could appreciate the fact that Stephen King is a brilliant writer...but what was the point of the first Dark Tower book?...
