Title: An excellent start to a good series
Review: Presently, I am half way through the Dark Tower series having just finished up Wizard and Glass. Out of the four books of the series I have read thus far, book one: The Gunslinger remains my favorite. Stephen King does a fine job in laying out the chase between the Gunslinger and the Man in Black. After reading the book I wanted to know much more about the Man in Black (and four books in I still don't know a whole lot), I was a fan of the Gunslinger (and remain so four books later), but I was confused by just what the purpose of the boy Jake was other than to create a sympathetic character (he turns out to be very important in the coming books).The book is a quick read, not overly complex but not simplistic either. A solid thumbs up book. By the end of it you will know whether or not you want to continue the series. I couldn't wait for the next book.
