i think you're entitled to your opinion, but if wizard and glass is as far as you've gotten, then WHOO BOY. you're in for a surprise. xd wizard and glass's art style is supposed to be more abstract, in case that wasnt obivous already. and if you really think about it, the abstract quality fits the fact that most of it is roland's memory, told over a time period thats being stretched out. the wastelands had some pretty wicked art.
now: a wee bit of a spoiler, song of susannah(the 6th one) has kind of abstract looking art too, but you can stil tell what it is for the most part. the seventh one (and i dont care if you disagree) has gorgeous paintings. (it has the best picture of oy out of any) and i dont know about you but the way the characters look in those paintings matches almost exactly the way i envisioned them.

I agree that The Wastelands had good ones, and I did recognize the fact that Wizard and Glass' illustrations were supposed to be more abstract. I just dont feel a novel is the place for it.

I think having illustrations is a bad idea, but if there's gonna be some, they should at least look like what you're reading

There are a few I'm fond of. My personal favorite is the one with Jake and the rose from The Waste Lands. That was an almost perfect representation of my mental image of Jake. And he looked so snappy in his little Piper uniform.
Some of the other illustrations though... yikes. xp

one illustration I actually did like very much was the one from The Wastelands whichs depicts The Dark Tower in Eddie's dream. I found it to follow the book's own description more closely than the pictures usually do. It's a great image.

It's a great image. i agree, thats one of the most stunning pictures in the series. also, theres a gorgeous one of roland standing in front of the tower in the 7th book, holding a rose.

I've only seen the Illustration's in Drawing of the Three. Some of them were good, But just the way that it looked... Bleh. It's like the Artist tried to make the pictures look real, but then Smudged the paper.

I really liked the pictures in Song of Susannah & DT(7 of course), but Wolves left something to be desired. I thought the picture of Roland(spoiler*: ) doing the rice dance was particularly bad, it just really rubbed me the wrong way. It was a really good scene, but I didn't feel like the picture did it justice
*Technically, it's not a spoiler because it's not a major plot point, and we don't have a ban on spoilers fron Wolves, but I noticed that some people aren't very far yet, especially some of our newer members maybe, so I just figured it wouldn't hurt.

i think what they mean by the illustrations in the drawing of the three being scary, is that, they are. like the ways in which some of the characters are portrayed in them.
like the one portrait of roland in their, he looks like a grinning lunatic. 0_o
i do like the pictures of the lobstrocity and the scene at balthazar's place. ^^
