<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43615.The_Gunslinger">GoodReads Summary</a>:
In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces readers to
one of his most enigmatic heroes, 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 frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues The
Man in Black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a
friendship with the Kid from Earth called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and
eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next
chapter.</p>

★★★☆☆
</div>
<p>It pretty much felt like &quot;the movie that started the series&quot; from the 80s.</p>
<p>A lot of the stuff is basically the Gunslinger telling his story or thinking
about the past. Sure it gives a nice explanation about the current status of
the characters, but it also drains the amount of &quot;current status&quot;.</p>
<p>Also, some descriptions felt hard to follow. Sure it's easy to explain how a
train station looks like and what's in it, but a cave... Good luck following
what's happening there.</p>
