Soon to be a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba!In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces listeners to one of his 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 frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.
Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves listeners eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger
by Stephen KingI hated this book. I can't believe it's being made into a movie, oh excuse me, a "major motion picture." The only reason I finished this was because it came highly recommended by one of my best friends, who raved about the series. Maybe the problem is that the only other Stephen King book I've read is The Stand, and this series is supposedly rife with King references. Or maybe the book just fucking sucked. I'm going with that. Sorry Ted.
