Advantages: A great start to an unforgettable series

Disadvantages: This first installment is a little short.

The man in black fled across the desert, the gunslinger followed.

This first line sets the scene for this book, and possibly the whole dark tower series, where we first join "the last gunslinger" Roland Deschain of Gilaed on his relentless search for the mystical Dark Tower, in this first book we discover a little of Roland's Quest and his strange world, as we follow his pursuit of the man in black across the desert and into the mountains along the way Roland encounters John "Jake" Chambers whom he refers to as "the boy" (Jake will have a big part to play in the series but we don't know this until later books,) It's through his relationship with Jake in this first book that we realise just how far Roland will go in his pursuit of the Dark Tower.

This first book in the Dark Tower series leaves the reader wanting more, as you feel yourself wanting to read on and discover the answers to all the questions you have about the Gunslinger and his world which has "moved on."

Summary: Leaves you wanting more
