The story once again follows Roland Deschain on his quest to find the Dark Tower. After the events of the first book, Roland awakens to find himself being attacked by what he deems to be a "lobstrosity" a large, vicious beast resembling a lobster. Due to the attack, Roland loses two fingers, part a toe and has been poisoned. This forces him to race against time to not only find a cure to his ailment, but to discover the three doors that will help lead him to the Tower.
Another great book by King. The beginning of the book kind of threw me for a loop but it quickly got right into the action taking my attention away from the starting events. Throughout most of the book I was easily kept entertained and was unable to put the book down. There was however a section that dragged on for me, for those of you's who have read it or plan on reading it that portion would be in "The lady of shadows".
Most of the characters introduced throughout the novel are very well developed and mostly all very likable.
Though it is very action packed, the story line does not progress very much as they are using this part of the series to introduce a few very important characters, each in great detail.
I did not like this entry as much as the first due to the progression, but I understand that if you're going to have such a long series it's good to build up your important characters early on to avoid any questions the reader may have, With that being said I give The Drawing of the Three 7 out of 10.
