the mans not always the best writer, but man, what an opening. streamlined, sets the plot of the book immediately and grabs your attention.

I finished to read The Dark Tower series about a month ago. Almost one year journey for me. After I have read the first 4 books, I took a small respite and read a few light fantasy books then re-read The Gunslinger and liked it a lot more, then back to DT series books 5 and 6, then Salem's Lot and Hearts in Atlantis and finally DT book 7. Superb.
