 Follow Roland while he goes on an excursion to trace down the Man in Black and find the Dark Tower. During his journey, he runs into a few odd characters, a deadly town, and other dangers. Go back in time and see what made Roland the Gunslinger.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was all over the place so it was a little hard to follow, but each part had me asking questions so it made me read on. I wish the transitions were a little smoother and it was difficult to tell between present and past at some points. I am still excited to see where Roland ends up in the next installment.
