While pursuing his quest for the Dark Tower through a world that is a nightmarishly distorted mirror image of our own, Roland, the last gunslinger, encounters three mysterious doorways on the beach. Each one enters into the life of a different person living in contemporary New York.
Here he links forces with the defiant young Eddie Dean and the beautiful, brilliant, and brave Odetta Holmes, in a savage struggle against underworld evil and otherworldly enemies.
Once again, Stephen King has masterfully interwoven dark, evocative fantasy and icy realism.

Woohoo! Now that's what I was hoping for when I started reading the Dark Tower series. Book one was a bit of a drag for me (though probably undesevedly) so I was happy to find that this is where it really starts being awesome.

Wow what a ride! Wholly different from the first book, and I know that was intentional on King's part. The story and world building are so unique, and the character development is rich. I can't wait for the next book!
