The start of a great epic!Review created: 08/30/06

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger is the first in a wonderful epic, setting the scene for Roland of Gilead, the gunslinger as he travels through another world on his quest to reach The Dark Tower.
The Dark Tower series is described as a mix of Western & fantasy, linking the real world with Roland's world and drawing characters from both. Is Roland's world futuristic or primitive, or a mix a both? A parallel to ours?
This first book of the series follows Roland as he chases The Man in Black. Barely touching the true character of Roland or the nature of his quest, this is the start of a most amazing adventure - both for Roland and for the reader.

The GunslingerStephen King's Gunslinger epic is dark yet enlightening, fantastic yet believeable, well-written yet seemingly effortlessly flowing throughout. The series is well worth the read whether you start at the beginning or somewhere near the last of the books each is written in such a way that they can be read in any order and makes sense. I hope whoever takes the opportunity to dwell in this master's world enjoys the visit as thoroughly as I myself do each time I partake the journey.

This whole line of books is so different than any other that he does.
Personally, I'm not really that into westerns, but because it's Stephen King, I have read them and they are pretty good. I know that alot of my friends only read these stories but to me, it's not my favorite.

You think you know...Stephen King, but you don't. This is not his typical fear-based novel and is nothing like what you expect. I had stopped reading him for awhile, let's face it, horror has its limits. This series made me exctied about King again. I couldn't wait for the next novel each time I finished one. I'm only reading the final one now, delayed reading it because I didn't want the series to end. I've never even been into fantsy-type books and I loved this. These books play out like a movie in your head like no others do. Read them, discover the addiction.

I'm a Steven Kings Fan from way back, and think this is one of his most impressive work. The Dark Towers series may turn out to be his best books. His pursuit of the man in black, his liaison with the sexually ravenous alice, his friendship with the kid from earth called jake, are part of the drama that is both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, an alchemy of storytelling sorcery.

The First of the Epic Series...1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This is the first of Seven in the Epic Series of the Roland and his search for the Dark Tower.. I thought this book was well written but cut a little short.. It left me thirsty for more, which is the best way to leave a reader.. This book is not the normal Stephen King story but parallel's with his own unique style of writing.. This one is a Western/Fantasy that could only have come from the mind of King..
