 this book was great. A lot of people say that this book isn't all that good and that you just have to push through to get to the better dark tower entries, I can sort of see why people think that because there is a lot of flashbacks and a lot less action but I still loved it because the character of Roland was so interesting and mysterious and throughout the book we see more and more of who he is as a person and the other characters were also great. My one critique was that there was a lot of buildup and not a lot of payoff. this is a must read for people who like fantasy's, or westerns.
