 Great Story July 28, 2010
D. Meola
I am a big Stephen King/Richard Bachman fan from way back when. I love his Gunslinger series. Of course you may not want to take my critique too seriously, because I just think that this author just can't go wrong. Even his early stuff was good and he has just gotten better and better at his craft.
King is a masterful storyteller July 16, 2010
Indian Prairie Public Library (Darien, IL)
"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." If you can resist an opening sentence like that, you have more willpower than I. The Gunslinger begins The Dark Tower series, which follows Roland's quest to reach the nexus of all universes. Since King finished the seven volume series in 2004, it's safe to start reading! I also would highly recommend George Guidall or Frank Muller's narrations. (Nota Bene: This is NOT a horror series or story. King may be best known for writing horror novels, but he is a masterful storyteller and writer in other genres too!)
Great Read / A little difficult July 12, 2010
Azarath
I've been told countless times to read the Dark Tower series, only hearing good things about it. I do have to say that I am glad I read the introduction to The Gunslinger. It helped me understand what I was to expect from the series and why this first book was so rough to read.
Aside from the book being a little rough to understand, the actual story kept me wanting more. It did its job in making me want to read the next book in the series.
Stunning... a Masterpiece June 15, 2010
Danielle D. Smith (San Diego, CA.)
One of my greatest inspirations as a writer and an artist, The Gunslinger delivers hardcore. This tale is a post-apocalyptic fantasy that is gleaned from a mishmash of genres, fusing such unexpected time periods and societies as the Old West, medieval feudalism, and sci-fi futuristic. Roland, the figure that is central to the tale (and those that follow) is a stoic but tormented figure, part fairy story hero, part gritty Clint Eastwood antihero via Pale Rider or High Plains Drifter. Fans of numerous genres (fantasy, gothic, western, sci fi, post-apocalyptic, steampunk) will thrill at this can't-put-down read, which is refreshingly short for Mr. King (who has a tendency to pack a lot of unnecessary tangents and deadwood in with some of his novels). At under 250 pages, the book is a quick, but not too quick, adventure that will leave you thinking about the characters and their plight long after the last page has been turned.
An incredable story that no King fan should pass up June 10, 2010
N. Fuerst (Mentor, Ohio)
I am very late to start reading this series but I am glad that I am reading it. I finished this book in only one day which is a rarity for me, but this book is so well written that I could not help myself. I am very excited to keep reading the remaining books to this series, and I also cannot wait for the movie version of this to come out.
