Definitely had a little trouble with this one at the start and thought it would only get two stars. By the end things started to go smoother and make more sense. Will most likely still continue with the series. Still definitely LOVE Stephen King anyway.
I'm only a third of the way through this so far but I'm having a hard time continuing. The /protagonist/ just raped a woman with the barrel of a pistol (aborting her child in the process) and nobody seems to care about this. You can't have a /protagonist/ who's a rapist. You just can't. Anti-heroes ...

Then revised into a novel. I read this one, because of the tie in with Heart in Atlantis' novella, Low Men in Y...
I have been a staunch Constant Reader for far too long to give anything but a biased review of the beginning of the genre bending Dark Tower series. Actually, not so much a review as a fan's recommendation.The first time I read this, I was 13 and firmly planted in the mythical land of black and whi...
From the Beginning to The Gunslinger and the Man in BlackThis review could easily bump up to 5 stars once I understand the full story, but to reach that point would require a massive undertaking--seven more novels follow this one. King is, in my mind, not a writer who creates the kind of book one ca...
