Publisher Description
“An impressive work of mythic magnitude that may turn out to be Stephen King’s greatest literary achievement” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), The Gunslinger is the first volume in the epic Dark Tower Series.
A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces readers to one of Stephen King’s most powerful creations, Roland of Gilead: The Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which mirrors our own in frightening ways, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.
Inspired in part by the Robert Browning narrative poem, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” The Gunslinger is “a compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its center” (Milwaukee Sentinel). It is “brilliant and fresh…and will leave you panting for more” (Booklist).
Customer Reviews
Absolutely Phenomenal
I’ve read, listened, reread and listened again and King’s epic fantasy triumph NEVER gets old! Only thing I wish is there were more stories (outside of the one’s on the Tower’s other levels) in this universe!
Not my cup or tea
I love most SK books, just couldn’t get into this one. I think it’s just not my type is sci-fi. I made it about halfway, found myself daydreaming about other things mid read.
Great series
I personally loved this series. I love the worlds and characters that evolve and grow together. Fantastic
