The Journey Begins

I liked it, even though the pictures did not match those formed in my imagination while reading the first King novel. Roland looks wrong to me. I was amazed at how different the graphic novel is from the book upon which it is partly based, how different the atmosphere and mood. The novel is more moody, philosophical, ... I had the feeling there was some idea I could almost but not quite grasp behind the words. The graphic novel was, for me, just a shoot-em-up. An atmospheric and odd one, but more mundane.

I am a huge fan of the first 4 books in the gunslinger series. This filled in a little bit of missing time when Roland was chasing the man in black and I liked that pretty well.

There were a little things I saw changed here or there from what I remember the original book having, but I don't think it was huge changes so far.
