Helpful Score: 2


I won't say this is King's best work, but I do love the story. In the afterword, he writes about how the story came about--which to me explains why it doesn't measure up quite as well as The Stand or Lisey's Story to me.

But, I do look forward to the other books--I've already ordered them and am anxiously waiting for them.

I hope that there is more of the gunslinger's past explained--I really like that part of his world, before things "passed on."
