What to expect
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...

King's magnificent uberstory is finally complete... King's achievement is startling; his characters fresh... his plot sharply drawn... It is magic.

I didn't particularly enjoy this book, but it is part 1 of the Dark Tower series. My daughter has raved on about the Dark Tower series many times so I agreed to give it a try.
I believe it really picks up in book 2 and I'm hoping it does. Narrated very well thoughHojohns 2024-01-14
