It tells the story of the gunslinger, Roland of Gilead, and his quest to catch the man in black, the first of many steps towards his ultimate destination - the Dark Tower.
Review:
I had read these story when I was much younger and had really forgotten what it was all about and never did complete the series, which I am in the middle of now. Stephen Kings writing in this is gritty, dirty, and desperate. I can taste the sand between my teeth while reading this.
If the first line in this book doesn't just grab you by the neck and make you want to read more, I don't know what will.
"The man in black fled accross the desert, and the Gunsligner followed".
Fraking beautiful.
