The Gunslinger is one of those books that evokes strong reactions in readers. You could simply say that people either love it or hate it but that is really too simplistic. Rather Stephen King evokes such a myriad range of different emotions with this science fiction/fantasy western that it is perfec...
This was my first Stephen King book and I didn't like it. It was the most painfully boring book that I have ever read. I know that Stephen King is a great author and I will read more of this books but they will not be from The Dark Tower series. I listened to a portion of The Long Walk audiobook ...
In The Gunslinger (originally published in 1982), King introduces his most enigmatic hero, Roland Deschain of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting, solitary figure at first, on a mysterious quest through a desolate world that eerily mirrors our own. Pursuing the man in black, an evil being ...
I think my expectations were very high for The Gunslinger, probably far too high. But I've been told for years I should read this series and that I would simply LOVE this series. So it's hard not to get your expectations sky-high. It was a weird experience for me. I've finished this book last week...
The Man Called Noon meets The Fellowship of the Ring, by a nineteen-year-old horror author. This is the third time I've read THE GUNSLINGER. The first time, I was young, younger than I like to remember, and a great deal of this book was lost on me. The second time I read it was in 2004, after King...
Every fibre of my being wanted to fall in love with this book. Reading it was like the first time meeting someone after weeks of flirtation on a dating site. They're smart, funny, you get each other's jokes, like the same stuff, travel in the same circles, and you both don't see the point of cucumbe...
My friend has been hounding me to start this series... to be fair, I've been hounding her to start Eleanor & Park, so it's only fair. And so, I finally did, lol. I was putting it off for a while because I heard that it was better to read other King's first as there's some crossover in this series an...
I don't know how I could feel simultaneously confused and at the same time so totally ensconsed in the world King creates here- it might have something to do with how elusive some of the characters memories are to the characters themselves...Long of the short, King is a master story teller and this ...
★★★★The Gunslinger by Stephen King(The Dark Tower Series book 1)The Gunslinger is the first book, in the Dark Tower Series. It was first put out as a series of short stories in a magazine. Then revised into a novel. I read this one, because of the tie in with Heart in Atlantis' novella, Low Men in Y...
I did this all wrong. I’m travelling in reverse down the Stephen King highway. I started with Joyland, then On Writing, then 11/22/63, and then Under the Dome, and I’m just now reading his older works. And there’s a noticeable difference. Other King fans have had the benefit of growing up, watching ...
