highly recommended

Filled with ominous landscapes and macabre menace, Stephen King's latest mass market novel features The Gunslinger, a haunting figure in combat with The Man in Black in an epic battle of good versus evil. A spellbinding tale that is both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike.

I want more

"The Gunslinger" and "The Drawing of the Three" are probably the best of the series. Some of King's best work, especially from a writing standpoint. But I do want more, like maybe a prequel series that isn't a graphic novel or a rewrite of the 5th and 7th books, which both had moments, but in the end left much to be desired. Villains have to be bigger and badder then the protagonist, and they were until King emasculated two baddies (Crimson King and Randall Flagg/Martin) that not only ruined the Dark Tower series but a host of other King novels that they are connected to. If they are that weak as villains, why should I be afraid of them?

You have to read the whole series

When I read this book, I actually thought that it was written by "another" Stephen King....someone that was using Steve's name to capitalize on his popularity. After reading the series, I am amazed by how it all comes together.

Hail Gunslinger

The first book in the Dark Tower series recently got a facelift from Stephen King, in an effort to make it more consistent with the latter books in the series. Even so, he was not able to greatly improve on an already outstanding novel, and a raw, dark, disturbing beginning to the phenomenal Dark Tower series. The book is disjointed, as it was originally written as a serial, but the overall flow of the book is very good and very gripping. Some feel that this book doesn't fit well in the series as it is so different. I won't argue with that, but it does set the tone rather well, I think. With this book, you'll read what is one of the best opening lines in modern literature, and meet Roland the last Gunslinger of Midworld as he begins his epic quest for the Dark Tower. Awesome read, highly recommended to all, but keep in mind that this book and the whole series is rather atypical of most of the rest of Stephen King's work. But don't let that stop you from giving it a try. A real dark, fun read.
