I don't know. I have heard great things about this series but I found this first book, for the most part, boring. Near the end it started to pick up but I guess I was a bit confused by the ending. It's not too long and I am listening so I will try the next book and hopefully it is better.

Legendary opening line, followed by a gruelingly slow 225 pages, then came in for the kill in the final 25. Curious enough to dive in for 4,000+ more pages? Doubtful. Godspeed, Gunslinger.
