I am a fan of Stephen King and the Gunslinger is one of his more interesting series. Originally written in short story format (1978-1981), these books are unlike anything I have read. Currently, I have read the first two books and I am not sure whether I am in love with the series yet. But the way the books are written not only makes you imagine the wasteland of the desert and the bustling city of New York City, but feel it. With the aid of drug slinging heroin addict, a woman in a wheelchair with dissociative identity disorder, and more unknown characters, an “unlikable” main character, Ronald, (based on a western cowboy) are on a quest to get to the unknown “dark tower.”
