The dark tower. The gunslinger.
The first part of the dark tower series is 'The gunslinger'. The story is set in a fantasy world about 'Roland of Gilead' the last of the gunslingers. The hero is on a quest to find the mysterious dark tower whilst also hunting 'The man in black', who you don't get introduced to until near the end. On his quest 'The gunslinger' meets other strange and wonderful characters which make the book more readable, one of them being 'Jake' a kid from New York, who finds himself in this strange world. Although i thought the book was fantastic it seemed at times the story wasn't progressing, but towards the end it picked up again and i couldn't put it down. I was then just waiting to get my hands onto the second part.

I paid £7.99 from WH smith but this was a couple of years ago and is probably a lot cheaper now. Especially on the net or auction sites.

Summary: Great book that is worth buying
