Debra M. (dreamer) reviewed on 10/13/2005 + 380 more book reviews

This heroic fantasy is set in a world of ominous landscape and macabre menace that is a dark mirror of our own. A spellbinding tale of good versus evil, it features one of King's most powerful creations - the gunslinger, a haunting figure who embodies the qualities of the lone hero through the ages, from ancient myth to frontier Western legend. The gunslinger's quest involves the pursuit of the man in black, a liaison with the sexually ravenous Alice and a friendship with the boy from New Yourk called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike.
