Ilustration Concering Books The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower #1)
In the first book of this brilliant 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.Rating Based On Books The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower #1)

Every once in a while, a reread will come along and completely change your outlook and opinion on a story. This was absolutely the case for me and my reread of The Gunslinger.Originally when I read it, I was in my early 20's, just out of undergraduate school and to be honest:I didn't get it. I didn't like it. I didn't like the atmosphere. I didn't like the strange dialogue.I didn't like the ending for one of my favorite characters.I had read a lot of King books and this was so different for me.
The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed. That is the line I remembered for years and years that made me think that someday I would revisit THE GUNSLINGER...As a young teenage girl I read THE GUNSLINGER and really didn't like it that much. I didn't hate it- it just confuuuuuused me. And to review this I will have to take you back to when I first read it as a teen...Stephen King is special to me. Special because when I first discovered him- it was the first time I went
My father is currently reading 11/22/63 which I gifted to him on Christmas since he is an admirer of JFK and he once told me he wanted to try King. He is completely mesmerized by Kings writing (rightly so) and I thought it will be a nice idea to tell him about the Kings novel Ive been reading in the same time. My tentative to explain the plot of Gunslinger went kinda like this: a guy, a Gunslinger, travels through a desolated desert to catch a Man in Black, who is a sort of a sorcerer. The
ENGLISH (The Gunslinger) / ITALIANOWhen I read this novel more than twenty years ago, I did not appreciate it. Clearly, Roland's story did not charmed enough my distracted and teenage mind. Therefore, I decided to prematurely stop the "The Black Tower" series. A few days ago in a bookstore I stumbled on a copy of the new edition of "The Gunslinger", and reading the preface I understood a couple of things. FIRST: not just myself, but also Stephen King was young when he wrote the same edition of
