Description

In the Gunslinger, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, the last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner, on a spellbinding journey into good and evil, in a desolate world which frighteningly echoes our own. In his first step towards the powerful and mysterious Dark Tower, Roland encounters an alluring woman named Alice, begins a friendship with Jake, a kid from New York, and faces an agonising choice between damnation and salvation as he pursues the Man in Black. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, the Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter. And the tower is closer!

Have read all the dark tower series 2-3 times.Could not wait for the next in line to become available when they first came out.Not his usual type of book but better.

I read the whole set from begining to end, and as it pass from waste land, it degenerated, the last book, well, suck. now, old stevy trying to make it with the wind thru the keyhole, it suck too.

Yeah I was kinda kinda dissappointed when I was younger with the pause in between his books. I stopped reading them due to the long pause. It was not until recently that I saw he finishe the series so I started reading them again so I started with the first.

This is a great fantasy series created by Stephen King. I read the first three books when I was a teenager as of a matter of fact I got these right after I read his book The Eyes of The Dragon. I loved this book and even reading it again after all these year I found it great. I am glad he finally finished the series. I bought all the books and plan on reading the rest of them. I am looking forward to starting the second book in the series.
