Review:
Even though I have read this book before, I hardly remembered any of it. I was prompted to re-read this series after reading the Gwendy series & I can't help but try to make connections.
Despite all that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While I am not a fan of Roland (I never was, I remember that much) I can't wait to see where this goes as I hardly remember any of this series except thinking it was a version of Wizard of Oz on crack when I was a teenager. I am excited to see if I still feel that way about this series.
Goodreads Description:
In the first book of this series, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, 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 frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues The Man in Black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the Kid from Earth called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
