Re-reading this, it's a great account, very fascinating. Even someone not interested in the subject matter would still enjoy a lot of this book.

^^ Cool, I loved the series.

What did you think after the second one? All started to take shape for me.

Yeah, The Gunslinger is more prologue than anything.

I'm liking it so far. The Drawing if the Three suffered some doldrums in the middle, but by the end of the book i was unquestionably committed to the series.
Despite the fact that King is a grossly overrated writer, he is a magnificent storyteller. There are times when the narrative is flowing beautifully and he will just interject his own personal colloquialisms into the mix, an annoying trait of his, but I'm sure he sees it as lending to his authenticity as a writer. The occassional eyeroll or facepalm is outweighed by the complexity of the story and king's vibrant imagination.

I knew what Drawing was about and who the characters were and thought I wouldn't like it, but he wrote it so well and the characters came into their own quickly. I really enjoyed the second book.
