Reviewsday: The Gunslinger by Stephen King

Long Days and Pleasant Nights Await in “The Gunslinger”!

The first book in King’s seven-book ‘The Dark Tower‘ series, ‘The Gunslinger’ will be nothing like anything you’ve read before. ‘The Gunslinger‘ introduces us to Roland Deschain of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, on his quest to reach the mysterious Dark Tower. Western Gunslinger ‘knights’ meet interdimensional travel in an eery dreamlike narrative. You’ll never be able to predict what turn the book takes next. Far from being disorganised chaos, you will need to pay particularly close attention when reading ‘The Gunslinger‘ and the rest of The Dark Tower series to truly appreciated just how incredibly finely-woven this story is. Not a single detail is mentioned without reason – everything comes back to the Dark Tower in the end…

A seamless blend of fantasy and Western, it won’t be long until you’ll be back for the second book, ‘The Drawing of the Three‘.
