A review by jalexxandra
The Gunslinger by Stephen King

5.0

This book is (and feels like) the beginning of an epic journey. We are introduced to so many questions and so few answers. I have fallen in love with Roland, despite his flaws and despite his seemingly heartless disposal of Jake. King's description of the world's terrain left me overwhelmed; I certainly could not survive in a desert even half as treacherous as the one depicted. This novel is still one of my favorites. I wept for the gunslinger, I rooted for him, and I despised him at moments. I would highly recommend this story for lovers of fantasy and in-depth views into main characters.
