I don't really know what to say after reading this book. Stephen King has evoked a myriad of different emotions in me, stretching the gamut from awe to complete lack of interest. On one hand, I devoured this book in two sittings as King led me by the nose along behind the gunslinger, dangling befor...

Let's start with this - this book has, for me, one of the most iconic first lines in modern fiction."The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed."It arrested me the first time I read it, and now, having read this entire series, that line is all it takes to give me chills.Wha...

I don't want to knock Stephen King because he is actually a really good writer that does not necessarily write what one would consider airport trash.

This particular edition is the 2003 updated with a few new bits of dialog and 3 additional scenes. It's okay, but honestly unnecessary. The original was just as good if not better. Still, read any edition of The Gunslinger you can get your hands on. It's a beautiful thing.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.As he makes his way across this vast, bleak and desolate landscape, he meets people, has sex, forms friendships. Bullets fly……people die. The gunslinger has bad, equally bleak and desperate dreams and flashbacks. The man in blac...
