Oddly, I think I liked
Wizard and Glass the least, but enjoyed
The Drawing of the Three, second favourite. See cassidym? Readers differ In favour/disfavour among them all.
And like DiapDealer, I am surprised people would consider
The Gunslinger the weakest.
Still, I enjoyed the series very much.
Cheers,
