Book Description

Jun 24 2003 Dark Tower (Book 2)
The second volume in Stephen King’s acclaimed, epic Dark Tower series. 

After his confrontation with the man in black at the end of The Gunslinger, Roland awakes to find three doors on the beach of Mid-World's Western Sea—each leading to New York City but at three different moments in time. Through these doors, Roland must "draw" three figures crucial to his quest for the Dark Tower. In 1987, he finds Eddie Dean, The Prisoner, a heroin addict. In 1964, he meets Odetta Holmes, the Lady of Shadows, a young African-American heiress who lost her lower legs in a subway accident and gained a second personality that rages within her. And in 1977, he encounters Jack mort, Death, a pusher responsible for cruelties beyond imagining. Has Roland found new companions to form the "Ka-tet" of his quest? Or has he unleashed something else entirely?

The stunning Plume edition features full-color illustrations by Phil Hale and is a collector’s item for years to come.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Elaborating at great length on Robert Browning's cryptic narrative poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," the second volume of King's post-Armageddon epic fantasy presents the equally enigmatic quest of Roland, the world's last gunslinger, who moves through an apocalyptic wasteland toward the Dark Tower, "the linchpin that holds all of existence together." Although these minor but revealing books (which King began while still in college) are full of such adolescent portentousness, this is livelier than the first. Roland enters three lives in the alternate world of New York City: junkie and drug runner Eddie Dean, schizophrenic heiress Odetta Holmes and serial murder Jack Mort. If King tells us too little about Roland, he gives us too much about these misfits who are variously healed or punished exactly as expected. Typically, King is much better at the minutiae and sensations of a specific physical world, and several such bravura sequences (from an attack by mutant lobsters to a gun store robbery) are standouts amid the characteristic headlong storytelling. BOMC alternate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of King's best Mar 2 2013

I read the first four of this series almost twenty years ago. Recently I decided to read them again. I think I am enjoying them more than the first time. Careful, these books are addictive !

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book Jun 12 2012
By Chronic
Format:Paperback
Stephen King creates quite an accomplishment with the Dark Tower series, and in this volume he expands the series a step further. While the first book focused squarely on Roland, this one shifts the focus to two new characters, Eddie and Odetta/Detta, as they are swept into the gunslinger's quest for the Dark Tower. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, and am looking forward to reading through three and the rest of the series. Consider me hooked.
