Dark Tower 02

goodreads.com says:
While pursuing his quest for the Dark Tower through a world that is a nightmarishly distorted mirror image of our own, Roland is drawn through a mysterious door that brings him into contemporary America.

Here he links forces with the defiant young Eddie Dean, and with the beautiful, brilliant, and brave Odetta Holmes, in a savage struggle against underworld evil and otherworldly enemies.

Once again, Stephen King has masterfully interwoven dark, evocative fantasy and icy realism.

When I first tried to read this some 25 years ago (in the course of borrowing all the Stephen King books that the village library had), I think all I really got from this was a mild feeling of "What the...?" :p
I've been toying with the thought of rereading the Dark Tower series for several years (most recently fuelled by this, but am adamant that I want to do that in English. This might well mark the starting point of my setting the plan into action. ;)
