Passato questo scoglio iniziale e cambiato approccio alla lettura, lasciarsi trasportare dalla prosa di King diventa immediatamente un’esperienza unica nel suo genere, magari non per tutti, ma certamente indimenticabile per quelli che potrebbero apprezzarla.

The ending did start to pick up though and I enjoyed that. This is the first Stephen King book I’ve read and I’m not sure if this is common across all his writing but the female characters are rough. Instead of the classic madonna-whore complex, seems like King has a demon-whore complex where women are either demons or whores or both, there’s no room for traits outside of that limited spectrum. I’m not the type that has to have every female character break gender molds or be saints but the demon-whore depiction of women in The Gunslinger becomes distracting when all I can think about while reading is what Stephen King’s relationship was like with his mom.
