"An impressive work of mythic magnitude that may turn out to be Stephen King's greatest literary achievement" (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), The Gunslinger is the first volume in the epic Dark Tower Series. A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces readers to one of Stephen King's most powerful creations, Roland of Gilead: The Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which mirrors our own in frightening ways, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake. Inspired in part by the Robert Browning narrative pum, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," The Gunslinger is "a compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its center" (Milwaukee Sentinel). It is "brilliant and fresh.and will leave you panting for more" (Booklist).… (més)

    Valjeanne: While The Gunslinger Book 1 is not one of my favorite books by Stephen King, one should read it to provide the backdrop to the sequels. The Drawing of the Three (especially) and The Waste Lands are much more engaging and two of King's most brilliant novels.… (més)

Not the best book to start the Dark Tower with - I hold The Drawing of the Three as the best standalone book of the series, where this one reads a bit more like a fever dream. But the massacre in Tull is iconic, and the first sentence alone is enough to hook the reader into the story to come. Highly recommend the whole Tower series.

Long days and pleasant nights. Say true. ( )

Rounding up from 3.5 STARS I don't know if it's because the edition I read is the "revised, expanded" edition but I really liked this book! Everyone who has read The Dark Tower series advises that that first book is the weakest link but getting thru it to the next in the series is worth the effort.

Anyway - I'm hooked, can't wait for The Drawing of the Three. ( )

The first in the 8-volume epic horror fantasy introduces us to Roland, the last gunslinger in a future time and dystopian place on a plane different than our own. The landscape resembles an American Old West but contains remnants of the past that reflect our own 20th century history: “Hey Jude” plays on the piano at the honky tonk, a gas station becomes an enigmatic and religious relic… Roland is in pursuit of the Man in Black, a powerful sorcerer who contains knowledge about Dark Tower, Roland’s ultimate goal. There is a lot of allegorical and metaphorical language, symbols and ritual that makes this story rich if a little obtuse on the first reading but the richness and vivid descriptions make the dreamscape and fable-like plot seem real.

This is the second time I've listened to this novel... yeup, I still like it. George Guidall does a great job with the narration and the writing is, well, Stephen King. ( )
  jfranzone | Feb 14, 2024 |
Immersed in a shadowy and gritty fantasy realm woven with religious undertones, Stephen King's narrative grips you forcefully, compelling you to absorb every word, evoking a visceral response – a quality that defines his writing. His exploration of the dark and morbid facets of death is evident, as is typical in his works.

However, a notable drawback is the absence of a clear sense of progression or resolution. The reader traverses this grim journey without discernible directional cues, creating a somewhat disorienting experience.

The narrative's use of flashbacks within flashbacks proves to be both disruptive and seamlessly integrated. Some instances jar the reader, while others effortlessly enhance the unfolding story.

In summary, it's a compelling read, offering a brief introduction to this intricate world. Yet, the lingering feeling persists that not much has truly transpired; perhaps, though, this is a deliberate setup for a more expansive and captivating plotline in the future. ( )

...a stone, a leaf, an unfound door; of a leaf, a stone, a door. And of all the forgotten faces.
Naked and alone we came into exile. In her dark womb, we did not know our mother's face; from the prison of her flesh have we come into the unspeakable and incommunicable prison of this earth.
Which of us has known his brother? Which of us has looked into his father's heart? Which of us has not remained forever prison-pent? Which of us is not forever a stranger and alone?

...O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again.
--Thomas Wolfe Look Homeward, Angel
