Addison_Reads I just finished this for the second time. I'm working my way through the series again. 2y
BoleyBooks @Addison_Reads -this is my first time. I hope to complete the dark tower journey by the year‘s end. 🤓 2y
Addison_Reads @BoleyBooks I'm jealous that you're getting to experience it for the first time. I can't wait to see what you think. I'm starting The Waste Lands soon (Book 3). 2y

MinDea What did everyone think of this book? Did you enjoy it? Do you have a favorite character or scene that happened in this book? 6y
MinDea Are you excited to start the third one in August? 6y
Andrew65 Loved the whole section with Eddie Dean, the bit on the plane was full of tension. Can‘t wait to spend more time with Eddie. 6y

EadieB @MinDea I think the best scene is when Mort got cut in half by the train. 6y
BookwormAHN I really enjoyed this one. I think Eddie is becoming one of my favorite characters. 6y
TrishB I felt like the story really started to take off in this one. I loved the jumping between the two worlds. 6y
Andrew65 @BookwormAHN Totally agree. 6y
AmberWB This was definitely one of my favorites, although it did stress me out. 😊 6y
BookwormM I really like Eddie not so sure about Detta/Odetta but I do like the way that these misfit characters have a unique and special destiny 6y
TK421 I loved the Eddie section. That was one of the best gunfight scenes that I have ever read. 6y
TK421 @EadieB I have to agree with you. Mort was awful. He tied a bit of the story together, but I was happy to see him go. After reading about Eddie, I expected The Pusher to be about drugs. 6y
EadieB @TK421 I hated what Mort did to Jake and Susannah. 6y
MinDea Mort totally deserved what he got. I loved how they all sort of tied together in their old "when" worlds. I hope Susannah grows on your guys! ? @EadieB @TK421 @BookwormM @AmberWB @Andrew65 @TrishB @BookwormAHN Eddie is a great character too! It is so hard for me to pick a favorite one. They all are so good and grow I to such amazing characters! ? 6y
TrishB Without giving too much away, I love Susannah 💕 6y
Andrew65 @BookwormM I also wasn‘t sure about Detta / Odetta, and as a result didn‘t enjoy that section as much. 6y
Andrew65 @MinDea I am looking forward to reading the next book, and already have it downloaded. 6y
Jovy I agree with everybody on Eddie‘s section! What struck me on this re-read was the almost insta-luv between Eddie and Odetta. Completely forgot that it unfolded like that. I also loved Roland in the gun and drug store scenes! Rolex for Keflex! 😂 6y
MinDea @Jovy I didn't remember it going that way (so quickly) either! It was #ka! 💙 I loved the gun and drug store scenes too! 6y
MinDea Awesome @Andrew65! I am all ready too! 6y
MinDea @TrishB 💙 She is so good. I hope everyone else sees that too! 6y
tonyahoswalt Eddie really grew on me. I look forward to hopefully liking Susannah as we get to know her, because I did not like Detta. Odetta was fine though. I know Mort was awful, but I think his section was my favorite. The connections really stuck out to me, and then yes, I was happy he got what he deserved. @EadieB @TK421 @BookwormM 6y
MinDea When I was creating the schedule for the next book I was having fun remembering what is to come! I don't remember much of this book so it'll be a great re-read for me! @TrishB @Andrew65 @TK421 @tonyahoswalt @Jovy @EadieB @BookwormAHN @BookwormM @AmberWB 6y
tonyahoswalt @Jovy I liked Eddie, but his instalove for Odetta was a little much. At least she she thought she could love him, but wasn't certain. 6y
tonyahoswalt I'm looking forward to the next book 😄 6y
MinDea @tonyahoswalt Yes his section is a great one and does shape this late a lot! I agree when reading it the second time and remembering how quick Eddie fell in love with Odetta/Detta seemed strange but it's #ka! 6y
TrishB I‘ve found I remember the headlines- but not do much of the detail! Really enjoying it 😁 6y
ScientistSam @EadieB @MinDea that was a great scene to be sure! It seems like there's a lot of injustice in this story/world. I also loved how Roland pays for the penicillin with a Rolex. 6y
ScientistSam @Jovy! Yes, loved the Rolex for keflex and sharpshooting scenes! It amazes me how careful Roland is to avoid shooting Innocents after the whole scene with Jake's death in the last book. 6y
MinDea @ScientistSam It is such an interesting character of Roland's to pay for the medicine and bullets and also not want Innocents to be hurt. I wonder if there is a sense of pride in the other "whens"? 6y
TheNeverendingTBR @TrishB The Drawing of the Three is he real beginning of The Dark Tower story, that's why I always implore people who dislike The Gunslinger to carry on until at least the end of book 2. How are you liking it now? 6y

One of the most important books of the series as Roland joins forces with Eddie Dean and Odetta Holmes (Susannah Dean) to save the dark tower. It is rich in symbol and allegory. This is my 2nd time reading and I did enjoy it more than the Gunslinger. I liked that this book brought Roland to New York. Roland meets a new adversary, Jack Mort. Looking forward to the next book, The Waste Lands.

Liz_M I really liked this book. Read it at the beach and drew concerned looks from friends because I kept giggling. 6y
EadieB @Liz_M Very funny! 6y
Andrew65 A bit (lot) behind on this! 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I think you have til mid-July to finish it. 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Just entering my busiest period, 400 reports to read and write in the next couple of weeks. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I thought you would be finished the term by the end of June. 6y

I just finished this week's chapters so I thought I would check in with everyone and see how ya'll are doing with the buddy read. Are you caught up? Are you liking it so far? What did you think of The Prisoner? Are you enjoying the second book more, less or about the same as The Gunslinger? Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Concerns?

BookwormAHN I'm enjoying it more. But it's really nuts and I don't think I'll ever look at a lobster the same way again. 6y
TrishB I‘m going to read all at once at the end of the month and then catch up in the discussions 👍🏻 6y

EadieB I‘m caught up and I definitely like it better than the first one. 6y
BookishBelle I‘ve got one more book to read before I can start this one. 😬 6y
TK421 I'm really enjoying this so far. Eddie is an interesting character. Once I have time to read in this book it is hard to stop. 6y
Rudis I keep falling behind! 😅 I‘m going to try & catch up this weekend though! 6y
tonyahoswalt I like it more than the first. It feels like it flows better. I was staying ahead a week, but I won't be able to read the next section until Wednesday. 6y
PaperbackPirate I‘m already enjoying it a lot more than the first book but I‘m a little behind. My next chapter is Contact & Landing. Thank you for hosting or I probably would have given up on the series already! 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai I'm all caught up! Loving it. 👌 6y
ScientistSam Playing catch-up this afternoon! 6y
BookwormM Caught up definitely better than book 1 loving the characters and it is hard not to read on 6y
Jovy Caught up! Eddie's my favorite ka-tet ❤️ 6y
ScientistSam Caught up now! This one feels very different so far, much less spaghetti western, and I'm enjoying it more too. It's interesting to have more than one pov in this. 6y
TK421 That chapter had one of the most well written gun fights that I have ever read. 6y
MinDea Oh really? @TK421? That's awesome. I really enjoyed that scene. 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @TK421 @MinDea oh heck yes! That was a great scene! 6y

Finally managed to start book two in this Series Buddy Read, and Read all of last week‘s read in one go. Certainly got me hooked now. Aiming to read this week‘s section tomorrow. Then what do I do! 😬
@TricksyTails @MinDea @GarthRanzz

MinDea You keep reading!! Love the momentum and that you are enjoying the second one! I remember feeling like I was on a roller coaster about my feelings for the series while reading it. Sometimes it feels tedious and other times I couldn't get enough. So keep the momentum going!!! 6y
Andrew65 😂 It is certainly an interesting read, took me a while to get it started but once we got to The Prisoner section definitely sparked my interest. How does he write this stuff, he has to have a warped mind! 😂 6y

#Burley just had his first trip to PetSmart and is ready to pass out (finally!!!) 😆😆 If anyone is on Instagram and wants a daily dose of puppy cuteness we created an account for him Burley_and_the_cats (like the song Bennie and the Jets 🎶)

Have one more chapter to finish for this week's schedule of #TheDrawingoftheThree and hope to finish that while he sleeps. How is everyone doing with these first few chapters of the new book? #EpickatetRead

SkeletonKey Behind as usual! Just finishing The Gunslinger now lol 6y

tonyahoswalt I adore this pup! Will be following him with my pet Instagram account, furryfelinefury. As for the book, I read the first bit this past weekend. Was wary of how we meet Eddie at first, but I think it's going to be okay! 6y

BookwormM I have finished this week‘s section the imagery with the crab and the sea reminded me of The Time Machine by HG Wells and how the future world looks. Enjoying the story it is amusing especially the idea of Customs 6y
EadieB @MinDea yes I am up to date with The Drawing of the Three. 6y

mcipher Awww!! He just seems to get cuter every day!! ❤️ 6y
MinDea 😺😺😺 I love food too! I also love to cook and bake. My food blog is pretty inactive for the last year but feel free to check it out. MyLifeInBites.co My Instagram account is more active or my Yelp account, I wish I had more time to write blog posts and get better at blogging but alas time does seem to be not enough every week. @CoffeeNBooks 6y
CoffeeNBooks @MinDea That's awesome! And I found your Instagram food account through it. We just got home from vacation yesterday, and I realized that most of my pictures are of food. 🤣 We tend to plan what we're going to do each day on vacation around where we're going to eat, lol! 😂 6y
MinDea Me too! I totally plan my vacation around food! 😆😆😆 @CoffeeNBooks I hope you had a great vacation! 6y
