The Dark Tower

Dark Tower I : The Gunslinger

“An impressive work of mythic magnitude that may turn out to be Stephen King’s greatest literary achievement” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), The Gunslinger is the first volume in the epic Dark Tower Series.

A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces readers to one of Stephen King’s 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 mirrors our own in frightening ways, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.

Inspired in part by the Robert Browning narrative poem, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” The Gunslinger is “a compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its center” (Milwaukee Sentinel). It is “brilliant and fresh…and will leave you panting for more” (Booklist).

Underskattad start på Det Mörka Tornet, Stephen Kings "Magnum Opus". Karaktärer får sin uppbyggnad med tillbakablickar och King målar upp en värld som bara han kan. Att en del tycker denna del i serien är seg förstår jag inte alls för den anger stämningen perfekt. Men det är inte bästa boken i serien vilket mest säger hur fantastisk resten av historien är. Kanonbra inläst dessutom (bättre än utgåvan med Stephen King själv som uppläsare).

En händelselös bok. Stephen King har som vanligt en överdetaljerad bakgrundsbeskrivning av huvudkaraktären, men plötsligt i mitten av boken så tvärvänder historian och blir nagelbitare istället. Så var inte denna historia. När spänningen äntligen började ta fart, så stannade den i halvläge, för att sedan bli till en besviken platt macka i slutet. Kanske mer spännande om en tror på gud?
