The Gunslinger
 

i recently got the first book in the dark tower series "The Dark Tower I : The Gunslinger" and if anyone has read it, i wanted to ask if i should just go ahead and read it b/c ive never read any of stephen kings books before. So im basicly asking if ill turn out liking it even more if i read it without reading "The Stand" or any of his recent books. :uhm:

hmm i guess no one helped me out for this thread :\ o well.

Re: The Gunslinger
 

Well, I have never read it but why not give it a try? Always is good to try new books.

Re: The Gunslinger

READ THEM READ THEM READ THEM READ THEM!!!!!!!

It's a very different style of King, the books are fantasy rather than horror, but personally I think they're the best books he's ever written. By the way 'The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower' is being released in about a week, i just pre-ordered it from Amazn... me so happy.


In case you were curious, the best books in the series are probably 'The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands' and 'The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass'.

This series is one of King's best.

I read the third book (i think). It was the one with the guy who does coke. anyways, I thought it was a fantastic book.

Re: The Gunslinger
 

There's a drug deal in the second book, but none of the main characters do coke (eddie is a heroin addict, and jake's father does coke, but he's a very minor character).... are you sure it was a Dark Tower book? They're better to read in order, anyway, it's one long story.
