    don't fail to make it blank verse... give bears something they would really enjoy...

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm with bears on W&G ... and with what seems like the majority of the lovers of Drawing of the Three. I've got to say that it's what truly got me hooked on the series.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

    This is the most tightly plotted TDT book. I know this sounds unlikely, but I'd almost believe that King started with an outline.
    He had far more experience under his belt at this point than he did when he started The Gunslinger, but I fear that he went too far in the direction of popularizing it.
    Of course, not all of the mysticism went out with the change in tone. This is the novel which introduced ka to the series.

    I totally agree, and I don't think that that's all in the reader's mind; my impression is that King was feeling more secure and really in the swing of things when he wrote DT III. (Looka what he says in the SoS appendix.)

    I agree with that, too. 4 from me.

    Tis a shame. I like this book, but it wasn't one of my absolute favorites.
