I finished The Gunslinger a couple days ago. At first, I wasn’t too impressed and had trouble keeping going. But I thoroughly enjoyed the last 50 pages or so, especially the very end. The atmosphere of the book was delicious. I can’t wait to start The Drawing of the Three!

I love it when authors develop this whole universe that all their works fit into. Isaac Asimov did it so extensively that he even crafted a massive timeline that all his books fit on. I like Stephen King, but I wasn’t particularly interested in reading the Dark Tower series until I read Insomnia. King introduced (to me at least) some of the major characters in the Dark Tower series in that book, and now I’m really interested. I haven’t started yet, but I already have the first book.
