Stephen King's The Dark Tower 2: The Drawing of the Three book review

[@Abonanno24601]

One of my favorite parts that sticks out in my mind in this book is when Eddie bought the Pepsi and Roland felt like he was on speed!! I got a laugh out of that.

[@bowdownORbringthawar]

Abonanno24601 Gods! So Sweet and Surgary! XD That had me dying.

[@isaiahcolesanti275]

Oh yeah that was funny

[@saulgoodman7858]

When I quit sugar for three weeks and then had a energy drink.. I was superman.

[@smitmastaflex]

Dont forget that Roland has no idea what Tooter Fish is, but its delicious!

[@FrankFergusonN]

Me too. Haha. I always think of that when I have a Pepsi. And tuna fish.

[@Masherchief]

Completely missed the part about Detta looking through the door to see Odetta and merging into Susannah. Also, cool how you pointed out that is another meaning of "Drawing of the Three." It got me to thinking, might the title also refer to Roland's drawing hand only having three fingers now? That's probably a stretch though.

[@ShirleyCurryTheOlderGamer]

I'm ready that series now! Just finished the 3rd book, The Waste Land.

[@Haven6419]

Loved the review, you’re the best, Stephen King book reviewer I’ve seen on KZbin. P.S. I love your CM Punk hat, and I pray that he returns to WWE.

[@multiversescriptutes8400]

This was such a phenomenal book. I remember reading this book i was so engrossed in reading the series that i just couldn't let go off of this book.

[@Ravencrowwise]

Thanks for the review, I always like to listen to what others have to say about the books I read. It gives me a fresh perspective and reasures me I'm not missing anything. I really enjoy your reviews of the Dark Tower series. See you again after reading book 3.

[@FrostyKnives]

Ravencrowwise thanks for the watch

[@yojimboeastwood5602]

Castrates him as a gunslinger. Well said. After this point Eddie , Susannah, Jake, Oy and Callahan become his chosen weapons. Like David the hawk during his trial.

[@ZakSalter]

Hey Frosty, I'm on my 14th king book that I've read this year including The stand, it, 11/22/63 and i must say that this book might be my favourite yet. That whole part with Eddie all strung out and the gunslinger inside of him and taking charge was just a lot of fun... Also I laughed when Roland drank a Pepsi, he's turned out to be such a cool character.. Anyway another awesome review...

[@theologianjoe]

Just started the DT journey only a month or two ago, can't stop reading them. You did an excellent review of this fantastic book. You hit all the major points. Looking forward to Wastelands.

[@major4k241]

Johnny cash

[@shineon7720]

You did this review in 2015, but here in 2019 it helps so much. I, myself, am on my journey to the Dark Tower and have to be reminded by Frosty Knives exactly what has happened on my quest before reading each book. Here’s to my continued journey with Wizard and Glass. Thanks for the reviews!!

[@95kingslayer]

Wizard & Glass is my favorite in the Series. It's up there with the Stand and It for me. Its also just a really good Westren.

[@Zaine87]

The Wastelands has been my favorite. The Detta Walker portions of this book made it drag for me. Great review though.

[@gustavkindstrand]

Sucking on dem white candles

[@girishgowda7661]

Haven Todd. "I wanna see the pokin." I fuckin died when I read that.!! Lol

[@Popsy1972]

Dat evil bitch Detta Walker was one of my favourites, you really get the sense of just how dangerous she is.... you ain't nothin but Honk Mahhh fahhh...

[@JuanMartinez-ib7mz]

Totally. This book in my mind is called "The Dark Tower II: The Dragging of the Three"

[@Mo_Ketchups]

@@JuanMartinez-ib7mz 😂😂😂🤘

[@nathantowns1999]

Whoa, what did you do with the camera? The walls are wiggling around! Great review, though. I'm just a bit dizzy.

[@anadragos8340]

Nathan Towns it's because when he talks with his hands and wave them around, the camera is having trouble focusing on the subject. He should put his hands down and not in front or in the camera. That way the walls will not wiggle around.😎

[@emmonskr]

@@anadragos8340 or just lock focal range

[@coolbrando1]

Just finished it 5 minutes ago. Incredible! Starting The Wastlands later :). Great summary/review!

[@daveedmunds1109]

Thanks for the review frosty. I agree, this is a phenomenal read. The say king blends the fantastic with the real world is masterful. Characters are top notch as always and the twists and turns mixed with some great action are awesome.

[@DirtMoss]

I really enjoyed it this video, I hope to start reading Waste Lands real soon, this video helped me get back on track with what happened in the 2nd book. Also, and I mean this in the most complimenting way possible, you look exactly how I'd imagine a male King fan to look!

[@Haven6419]

OhWirt I just finished 2, starting on Wastelands in just a mins!

[@c.w.hughes2609]

I just finished book 1. I'll put out a review eventually lol but I'm pretty mixed on it. Are you a big king fan? I found his writing a bit off putting but the story caught my Intrest.

[@relentlessone7009]

Just finished this book! Great read and great review! What are your thoughts on reading wind through the key hole after wizards and glass or should I wait until after reading everything else?

[@colinmacvicar2507]

The Gunslinger Followed The first time I read the series I read it at the end. I'm reading them again for the third time now and I totally suggest reading it where it should be, after wizard and glass. It's essentially a stand-alone story but it fits in perfectly and won't give anything away.

[@isaiahcolesanti275]

I finished it too it was full of shocking moments and very full of answered foreshadowing moments. I love this series so much.

[@snixelpig]

Rereading this series again,have read nearly everything King ,love your video's.

[@capttrips1523]

Love this book. It was the first of the series I read. Happened upon it in laundromat one day and it turned me on to the series.

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

These are great! i read the whole series a few years ago and suddenly feel like reading it again :)

[@MIS315]

I still dont understand how Susannas personalities merge, how did Detta see Odetta?

[@FrostyKnives]

MIS315 Roland forced the two personalities to acknowledge each other’s existence, thereby forcing them to merge into a new personality, Susannah

[@martinarreola64]

Knives! review 1408 i wanna hear what you think

[@rexowenwaide2170]

This was my favorite of the Dark Tower books. Fast, fun, like a drug. I love your reviews Frosty, thank you.

[@xAntoIRL]

Just finished it (SPOILER) the end when Roland was like I love you both or whatever brought me to tears . Its like Sk is always throwing hints or outright showing Rolands heartache and it just gets to me . Super book 10/10 for me.

[@IVANGARCIA-zn8vq]

great review!

[@Abonanno24601]

are those the books with all the beautiful illustrations?

[@FrostyKnives]

Yes they are. Thanks for the watch

[@AstraPharma-Arabic]

Does Roland get his fingers back? I just got the entire book collection and I finished the second book. On the later covers roland has all his fingers and i am confused 😅

[@FrostyKnives]

ALI Alobaidly no he does not. My guess is it's an artist mistake

[@colinmacvicar2507]

ALI Alobaidly Yes and no. That's all I can say.

[@burns9281]

colin that is a great answer(i mean it)

[@1Inked4Heart3]

I agree a very good book!!!!

[@VeryRandomChannel]

Hi to you & your family!!! :-)

[@FrostyKnives]

Hello fellow KZbinrs!

[@donwanderley7156]

Best channel ever.

[@bhookhapet1388]

i didnt get the part where roland came out of bathroom at balazar's place with eddie ? could he be physically present in the real world ??

[@FrostyKnives]

Yes Roland can be physically present in our world.

[@ericquinn9055]

Just finished it the other day. It was good, not great in my opinion. Sluggish at times with the Odetta/Detta relationship. Really liked Eddie’s growth throughout the book tho. Started on The Waste Lands, and super excited!

[@Shad0wmoses]

The ending palaver had me in tears abit.

[@angiestone2818]

I have read it last year it was great I liked it. I need to read wastelands next

[@MaryRose86]

My favorite one in the series!!

[@Kikilang60]

You know, King has written so much, he could have his own book club.

[@dr.skulhamr3220]

Well, Rolland's left hand was always passably skilled at least, hence two holsters and two guns.

[@anadragos8340]

This video is sooo funny! I love how he explains the full story. Lol😁

[@itsmineleaveitalone]

he draws Jake too doesn't he after he saves him?

[@FrostyKnives]

itsmineleaveitalone he doesn't draw Jake until the third book

[@JuanMartinez-ib7mz]

90% in New York you say? Jeez I must've read another version of the book. Most of it was in the beach.

[@robertoneill1979]

This is the book I have read more times than any other 🤓❤

[@JohnDoe-sx2zk]

i forgot what a brillant book this was

[@Rekuoyama33]

Once he mentioned the drugs I was like the fuck was Stephen king on when he wrote this

[@donwanderley7156]

Books 1-3 are epic. Parts of 4 are great, but everything beyond that reeks of overkill.

[@DAGDRUM53]

or cash grab =)

[@thenewtommyrockets1180]

At the first part it’s not cocaine it’s heroine.

[@chriscarter4563]

is this review spoiler free or no? it's 16 min long so i feel like you're doing more of a summary than a review. well maybe by review you mean an actual review over the events that occurred in the novel. idk. someone let me know so i can watch the video. actually i only have like 50 pages left in it so i guess i'll just finish it up lol. nvm

[@colinmacvicar2507]

Your room is melting. You should look into that.

[@Mo_Ketchups]

Viewers be glad *I* didn’t write this one. Mine woulda had me abducting the 1960s’ Raquel Welch, trapping her in Midworld w me, and I’d keep sending Eddie back to NYC to pick up toots & keep robbin pharmacies for Welch & I as we get loaded & shoot rats & lobstrocities for laughs, like Sean Penn in “Sweet & Low Down.” Thinkin of it, that ain’t a half-bad read. 🥴

[@mastiffmythslegendsandlore]

I love you

[@ElReyMaza]

I really enjoyed this review! If you are a constant reader and want to show another constant reader some support go check out my drawing of three review on my channel!!

[@JustinMBailey]

...dude I ain't gonna lie, I hate this book. I totally hate this book, I hated it 12 years ago when I first read it, and I still hate it now. What the fuck was Stephen King thinking? And I'm not talking about Roland losing some fingers and a toe in the beginning, I'm talking about why the fuck after totally getting hypnotized by Roland's romantic macabre world in the first book, whey the fuck would I ever want to then read a second book that takes place almost entirely in my world? And even worse why did King ever think in a million years that a snarky smart aleckly junky punk, and a woman with TWO PERSONALITIES AND NO LEGS would make for good companions, would make for good characters to add to Roland's universe!? I swear this piece of crap book truly makes me feel like Father Callahan at the end of Salem's Lot, because through the Dark Tower series I was promised the ultimate of stories from the ultimate of story tellers but it's not, it does not deliver at all and I think the "Kingites" that say it does are crazy, and if King cannot write this 'ultimate story of stories" than who can? Stephanie Meyers? Shut the fuck up! And I think the reason he can't is, as brilliant as he is, it's quite simple, unlike his character Roland always madly obsessed with his Tower Quest, King was just never that committed, he was never really all that focused on it at all and that's why Roland's quest is forever in limbo. I honestly think it was always something that he just simply felt obliged to complete maybe for the sake of his 19 year old self and nothing more. I honestly thought after all these years I would start to take a liking to book two but no....it still pissed me of....I still hate it,, although maybe I should be thankful 12 years ago this book pissed me off so badly that I actually started writing novels for myself and have been enjoying it ever since so there's always that. Anyways thanks, I've had a whole lot of fun catching up on my king this year, so thanks for inspiring me to do it in the first place. Maybe next year I'll start back up again.....whatever. Peace. Fuck the Tower!!!! Kill Vegans!!!! All hail Megatron.
