DESCRIPTION:
"Soul searching alternate fantasy" according to Bernardi Francesco. The plot is compelling and original.This is not your standard Stephen King book, because it straddle the fantasy genre with an original flair.At moments, it is quasi-psychedelic, and one cannot but wonder if there are some real life experiences embedded in the narrative.I have started to read this book out of curiosity, I'm now nearing the . Roland's journey to the Dark Tower Kindle Customer This is a great read. Matter of fact the whole series of the Dark Tower is a GREAT read. Really hard to put the book down once you start. This is about Roland and his journey to the Dark Tower. I liked it so much that I have the whole series. Now I am waiting to see if a movie is made regarding this story.. "Not bad" according to Benjamin D. Uecker. I guess I missed the part where lots of people consider this King's best work. It's good but for me, it's not "great" if I am okay with putting the book down. I will read the next one in the series but there is something about it that just didn't appeal to me. Otherwise I would have read it in just a few sittings.
In his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves listeners eagerly awaiting the next chapter.. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba!In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces listeners to one of his most powerful creations: Roland of Gilead, The Last Gunslinger
