I'm picking this option to save time in reviewing all three.

I firmly believe that the power lies in reading the three together rather than individually.

The Gunslinger series is one that constantly comes to my mind.

Roland is an extremely powerful character in my perception, undoubtedly because he is very much a part of King's creation.

The first book is among King's earliest works, and it shows.

However, in typical King fashion, it offers the perfect character development for you to understand Roland as you progress to The Drawing of the Three.

Book 2 is one of my absolute favorites ever.

It delves deep into how we view our world and these characters as they strive to become more together than they'll ever be apart.

This leads into Waste Lands, which is a book that people either love or hate.

Due to my connection with Jake, I adored it.

Witnessing the characters connect and Roland grow to correct past mistakes is a journey that I was more than eager to embark on.

The unfortunate aspect is that, despite reading them all, the final books in the series are rather disappointing.

The ending, while appropriate, concluded in true King style, seemingly thrown together because he was done developing the characters.

That being said, these three books are at the very top for me.

I am extremely happy that I read three books in the collection at once. Otherwise, it would all have ended with "The Gunslinger" and I would not have wanted to continue, but in this way I had no choice... I will warn you right away, there will be a lot of spoilers! Since I am writing as a reminder of the book for myself in the future, because I will definitely continue the cycle.

The thing is that the events in "The Gunslinger" are extremely unclear and I was reading and not understanding what it was all about. Some other world, in which one guy goes somewhere and is looking for some tower. Which is a bit like madness. But I never managed to understand why. Roland somewhat recalls his past, training and how he became a gunslinger. Sometimes he meets people (very strange people), but more often there are some strange creatures. Because of which Roland lost two fingers on his right hand. Later he took a boy named Jake into his company. How he got into Roland's world is not clear, but the ending with the boy was sad. In principle, I would not have continued my acquaintance with the cycle because of this.

But then "The Drawing of the Three" begins and it already becomes more interesting and dynamic. In Roland's world, doors sometimes open to our world and he can take someone with him by entering their body. First, it was Eddie, who was transporting drugs on a plane and Roland had to get the guy out at customs and then from the head of the gang. A little later, Roland takes a woman into his world who has no legs and moves around in a wheelchair. As it turns out, there are two different people living in her, nervous Detta, who steals valuables and the heiress of some company, Odetta. And the third person turned out to be exactly that maniac because of whom Odetta had her legs cut off and who wanted to push Jake under a car. To be honest, I still haven't decided on this extraction. Is it the extraction of 3 characters, Eddie, Odetta and that third one (I didn't even remember the name). Or the extraction of the third woman in Odetta's body. Or it was a hint for the future, about Jake. But this is already something that I am thinking about myself.

In "The Waste Lands" Roland's journey with Eddie and Susannah to the Dark Tower continues. On their way, they meet strange creatures and something similar to robots or cyborgs. In a dream, Eddie sees that he needs to create a key to take the boy back to Roland's world. We see how Jake himself wants to leave for Roland and give up everything, because he feels that he is not alive (after all, he was supposed to be hit by a car, but he was saved). And almost at the very end, we learn about these lands and it is something terrible.

How did he manage to connect all the stories of these characters into one, since Roland took them from different times and someone had crossed paths before.

Here I don't understand how, but King always manages to make me empathize with certain heroes. He took blatant outcasts of society and created such a storyline with them that I read and worry about them. Eddie is a drug addict and a drug transporter, Detta is a thief, at the same time a schizophrenic who sometimes turns into a very sweet woman...

Bk 1 is truly an enigma. It is weird, yet there is a certain beauty to it, almost in an eerie dreamlike fashion.

Bk 2, on the other hand, is King's best pure action tale. It is filled with non-stop excitement and thrills that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

Bk 3 is also highly action-packed, but it takes a different turn. It brings in a plethora of sci-fi elements, adding a new dimension to the story. Additionally, it presents a strange and unique take on the haunted house concept, making it even more captivating.

Overall, each book in this series offers something different and engaging, making it a must-read for fans of King and those who enjoy a good mix of genres.

I don't usually have a great passion for reading works by King. However, the universe that he has constructed in this particular series is truly captivating.

The first book in the series is almost like a beautiful tone poem, and it happens to be my absolute favorite within the series. Interestingly, it is often regarded as the least favorite by most people.

This series has such great potential that it MUST be developed into a Hollywood franchise. The unique and engaging world that King has created could translate extremely well onto the big screen, captivating audiences around the world and becoming a huge success. It would be a pity if this opportunity were to be missed.

I thought this was an extremely well-written science fiction series.

At first, the first book was indeed a bore. In fact, I almost gave up on reading it. However, I'm truly glad that my brother managed to convince me otherwise.

The remaining books in the series are filled with complexity, making the reading experience very exciting.

I'm not entirely sure what I think of the ending. It has left me with some mixed feelings.

Nonetheless, I would still recommend this series to others. But I would definitely warn them first about how dull the first book can be. They should just skim through it to get to the "good books" that follow.

This way, they can avoid getting discouraged in the beginning and fully enjoy the精彩parts of the series.

This is the second installment of the three in the Dark Tower series.

I have always held in high regard the remarkable ability of Stephen King to effortlessly transport me into an alternate universe.

And this particular book within the series did not in any way disappoint.

The story continues to unfold with its unique blend of mystery, adventure, and the supernatural.

King's vivid descriptions bring the characters and the strange world they inhabit to life.

As I turn the pages, I find myself completely immersed in this alternate reality, eagerly following the journey of the protagonist.

The plot twists and turns keep me on the edge of my seat, constantly guessing what will happen next.

Each new discovery and encounter adds another layer of depth to the overall narrative.

It is truly a captivating read that showcases King's mastery of the craft.

I can't wait to see how the story concludes in the final installment of the series.

Where are the movies, already?!

This simple question reflects the eagerness and anticipation of movie enthusiasts.

In today's fast-paced world, movies have become an important form of entertainment.

People look forward to watching the latest blockbusters, experiencing different stories and emotions.

However, sometimes the wait for movies can seem endless.

There are various reasons for this, such as production delays, distribution issues, or scheduling conflicts.

It can be frustrating for fans who are eager to see their favorite actors and directors in action.

But despite the wait, the anticipation for movies remains high.

When a highly anticipated movie finally hits the theaters, it often creates a buzz and excitement.

People flock to the cinemas to be a part of the cinematic experience.

So, while we may ask "Where are the movies, already?!", we know that the wait will be worth it in the end.

At that time, it was truly excellent. The storylines were engaging, the characters were well-developed, and the overall concept was unique and captivating.

I have always been a fan of such works, and this series definitely left a deep impression on me.

Not only did it provide entertainment, but it also offered valuable insights and lessons.

A great start to what appears to be an amazing saga.

The third book, "The Waste Lands," was truly my favorite among Mr. King's first three Dark Tower books.

It managed to keep me completely engaged from beginning to end.

Moreover, it significantly contributed to further visualizing the lands and history of mid-world.

The characters, both new and old, had a rich and detailed development.

We got to see their growth, their struggles, and their evolution.

This made them feel more real and relatable.

As a result, I am now eagerly looking forward to moving ahead with the fourth story in this captivating saga.

I can't wait to see what new adventures, challenges, and character developments await in the next installment.

I have a feeling that it will be just as exciting and engaging as the previous ones.

Overall, I highly recommend this series to any fan of fantasy and adventure.

It is truly a remarkable piece of work that will keep you hooked until the very end.

The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, and The Waste Lands. These are the first three books of the eight-volume report on Mr. Stephen Edwin King's transpersonal mescaline trip. I initially started reading out of a vague curiosity of "how it's done". But by the second book, with the appearance of the heroin-addicted heroine, the schizophrenic black woman, and the descriptions of altered perception, mystical states similar to psychoses, I had already gotten used to the rhythm and terms like the Big Dirty Man. I was so drawn into the text that I then read to the end without stopping. It holds your attention.

By the way, Mr. King, how does it work?

Overall, I can say that Stephen King is a very brave master (I mean in terms of writing boldness). When he starts to expound his version of the vision of the world(s), he moves forward without hesitation, just like Roland goes to the very end, skillfully mixing the incompatible and with each page deepening his already powerful psychedelic experience.

+++ for the sense of humor and cyberpunk

Probably, I'll take a break and then finish reading the remaining five. The main thing is not to forget The Face of My Father by the end.

These books and THE STAND are my favorite Stephen King books! Stephen King is a master of horror and suspense, and his works have captivated readers around the world. Each of his books offers a unique and thrilling experience. The stories are filled with complex characters, vivid descriptions, and unexpected twists. Whether it's a supernatural thriller or a psychological horror, King always manages to keep his readers on the edge of their seats. His writing style is engaging and accessible, making his books enjoyable for both casual readers and die-hard fans. I highly recommend these books to anyone who loves a good scare or a thought-provoking story. So, if you haven't already, pick up one of Stephen King's books and prepare to be entertained!
