The Gunslinger by Stephen King


Started: 7/15/06
Finished: 7/16/06
Year: 1982
Genre: Fiction
Grade: C
Reason for reading: attempted the series awhile ago and decided to give it another shot, booksfree.com book
Blurb (from front page): "This heroic fantasy is set in a world of ominous landscape and macabre menace that is a dark mirror of our own. A spellbinding tale of good versus evil, it features one of Stephen King's most powerful creations-the Gunslinger, a haunting figure who embodies the qualities of the lone hero through the ages, from ancient myth to frontier western legend.
"The Gunslinger's quest involves the pursuit of The Man in Black, a liasion with the sexually ravenous Alice, and a friendship with the kid from Earth called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, here is stunning proof of Stephen King's storytelling sorcery."
Opinion: Still not high on my books that I like. I like it enough to continue with the series but probably will never buy for myself. Definitely a quick read and entertaining.
