Summary: West Hell
Comment: The Gunslinger is a great book by Stephen King. I really liked the story behind all the twisting words on the pages. A man who is known as The Gunslinger sets off in hunt for a mysterious man referred to as "the man in black", and finds himself in the presence of a young boy named Jake. Stephen King really gives us a sense of character in The Gunslinger, whether it be from the hard-nosed Gunslinger, the young boy Jake, or the mysterious man in black. When Jake is introduced into the story everything really begins to come together. Before we meet Jake, King keeps the reader guessing at why things are happening in the story. He doesn't take the first few chapters to introduce the characters. He cuts straight to the chase, and begins with the story; we have to get to know the characters as we read the book. I believe that this is what makes Stephen King such a good writer. And if you really like The Gunslinger, there are sequels like Book 2 in The Dark Tower series The Drawing of Three; book 3 The Waste Lands; book 4 Wizard and Glass; and book 5 Wolves of the Calla. The Gunslinger all in all a great book for any mature audience, as well as The Dark Tower series.

Summary: First Book in the Dark Tower Series
Comment: "The Gunslinger" was one of the first books I ever read by Stephen King (sometime in the early 90s), and even though it's not one of my favorites, it's still worth reading if you like King's fantasy novels. It takes place in another world where Roland, the gunslinger, pursues The Man in Black across dry, dangerous terrain, entering town after town and stumbling across various characters who will ultimately lead him to a mortal battle with The Man in Black.
This series/book isn't like King's typical horror fare (i.e., "Cujo" or "Carrie"); it has more of a western/sci-fi feel to it. That's probably why I didn't like it as much. But if you're into this type of genre, then you'll more than likely enjoy the Dark Tower series--"The Gunslinger" (#1), "The Drawing of the Three" (#2), "The Waste Lands" (#3), and "Wizard and Glass" (#4).

Summary: The beginning of an amazing journey!!!!!!!
Comment: This is the first installment of Stephen King's Amazing Dark Tower series. This book is brilliant from start to finish. If you haven't read it yet, please do. Even if you are not a fan of Stephen King's regular work, you will like this. Trust me.
