âAn impressive work of mythic magnitude that may turn out to be Stephen Kingâs greatest literary achievementâ (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 Kingâs 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, âChilde Roland to the Dark Tower Came,â The Gunslinger is âa compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its centerâ (Milwaukee Sentinel). It is âbrilliant and freshâŠand will leave you panting for moreâ (Booklist).

En hÀndelselös bok. Stephen King har som vanligt en överdetaljerad bakgrundsbeskrivning av huvudkaraktÀren, men plötsligt i mitten av boken sÄ tvÀrvÀnder historian och blir nagelbitare istÀllet. SÄ var inte denna historia. NÀr spÀnningen Àntligen började ta fart, sÄ stannade den i halvlÀge, för att sedan bli till en besviken platt macka i slutet. Kanske mer spÀnnande om en tror pÄ gud?
