adventurous dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It's the start of The Dark Tower.  It stage in tremendously but is definitely a different beat from the rest of the series.  Don't cast off the tower on this book alone.  If you hate the main character in this book, give the next book (Drawing of the Three) a shot at least.
