Volume 2 of the Dark Tower saga drops us right back with an ailing Roland - whose luck turns from bad to worse as he crawls toward an open door. A door that takes him into our world and into the mind of heroin addicted Eddie Dean. He is the first of three people whom Roland must 'draw' in order to continue his quest for the dark tower. After Eddie there is "The Lady of Shadows" (Odetta Holmes and her dark personality known as Detta Walker). Then there is the third, a third that I won't get into here. Roland has been along on his quest for so long and he's still reeling from the terrible choice he had to make in the previous book. Roland does not want to get attached to these people but it happens all the same, and they know exactly where they are at end of the day on Roland's priority list but the Dark Tower has a pull on everyone who gets sucked into it. No matter what world they're from. We jump times in this one, deal with more horrors in Roland's world (one word: lobstrocities), and like the new characters we meet in this book, you can't help but want to journey on no matter where it leads.
