BOOK REVIEWS. Sort Of.

The Drawing of the Three - Stephen King      

You'd think that with a book this long I would have a lot to say. No. Not much.

I do find that reading it for the second time gave me more of a chance to appreciate the type of detail that has kept King at the top of the heap all these years.

I'm glad I took the challenge to read the entire series this year.

O Jerusalem - Laurie R. King     

So this one is a chronological back step. It continues an episode which was only eluded to earlier, so it begins before the time of the last few books. 

It took a chapter or two to get used to the change in time with its reversal of character development, but then I was fine.

The story itself did not seen to be as strong as the others, but I still enjoyed it.

On to the next one . . .

BOOK REVIEWS. Sort of.

The Gunslinger - Stephen King

This is my second trip through the series. Thanks to the Dark Tower Reading Challenge, I have encouragement and may actually finish the it. (I only made it through book 4 the first time around.)

I enjoyed this, the first installment, and am buoyed to continue. As I recall, the first time around with each passing book I felt less like I was reading a book, and more like I was actually making the endless voyage with Roland.

Question for those of you who have read any of the series. Who did you picture as Roland?

I always saw him as Rutger Hauer. Rugged, kind of scary, but still handsome.
