A review by machiavelli_311
The Gunslinger by Stephen King
2.0
When I picked up The Gunslinger I was excited to try my first Stephen King , had heard so much good about the Dark Tower series… so many people listed it as one of their favorites… so had high expectations going in…. Unfortunately this book wasn’t for me. You follow The Gunslinger (surprised right?) as he progresses, and it wasn’t enough for a DNF for me but it also doesn’t make me want to continue with the series.
Again, for me the story was pretty flat… wasn’t very interesting and didn’t pull me in… there was a little bit with Jake that started to get me interested, but it didn’t continue and again, not enough. Even the same with The Man In Black, and the climax… really not trying to beat up on the book, but again for me it was just a “who cares.”
I know there is a big group of fans that love this series, so you may like it too, but this wasn’t my jam…
2.5 stars
