I didn't find it hard to read at all. I loved it from the beginning.
letti, reading the gunslinger changed my life. I couldn't put it down and i wouldn't shut up about to anyone who would listen to me. I didn't discover thedarktower.net until much much later. People and work were getting a bit sick of me.
The funny thing is, i hate guns. hate them. I shot a few when i was a kid but i'm really a nonviolent person. it is kind of funny that i'm so passionate about the dark tower.
I thought that the book was amazing. It wasn't hard.
The Gunslinger is an instant classic! Everyone loves it.
Everyone that I have met that has read it, loves it. I am not including those who have not.
When I first tried to talk about this book with other folks most of them couldn't stand it. Really.
I have yet to meet anyone from my school who has even heard of the DT. Except for my ELA teacher.
If you had been born in Hungary (like me) you would need to learn another language to be able to find some other DT junkies so don't complain. :D
I LOVEDthis book from the word go. I couldn't put it down the first time I read it, and recently read it for the 5th or sixth time in a single day. I think the original version shows SK's writing immaturity, but the stroy was powerful.
Letti: so you do not speak English?
Yeah, Brice answered instead of me as well. :) I can speak English and I can only hope that I am able to express my feelings well.
But what I wanted to say is that here it's incredibly hard to find someone who knows this series at all. And who read it too... almost impossible.
But thank God here is this site. :rose:
At least you have us!:D
You never know. There might not be. How did you find out about the series Letti?
Yesyes. I am lucky.
That's why I wrote "almost". :)
When I was about 12 I used to be in love with Dean R. Koontz. One day I didn't find any new books by him in the bookstore. I was quite disappointed and sad so I strated to look for something new. The title "The Dark Tower" (in Hungarian "A Setét Torony") touched me.
Not such an interesting story I know. :rolleyes:
Personally I found it incredibly easy to read, and I loved it from day one. Like Maerlyn, it changed everything for me.
That said, over the years I have lent my copy to others and several times have had it returned unfinished. Some of these people have told me it was difficult to understand and to get into. I still don't see why that is, but I have definitely heard it said about The Gunslinger. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that it is a blend of western/sci-fi/fantasy. Some people seem to have a hard time getting their mind around the concept.
Rolands test.
Makes up for any short comings. Great story.
