"The Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed."
I was repeatedly warned that the first one was kinda tough to get through, but I thought it was pretty engaging. And I really enjoyed his uncharacteristically poetic prose and laconic tone. The opening sentence is certainly iconic, but this book has some great turns of phrase... and the slow release of information as to what this whole world actually was. I imagine if I had been reading it without knowing anything at all, I might have believed it was just a straight forward western setting for a while. And I didn't see that turn coming with Jake. I reread it several times to make sure I got it right. I'm reading something else at the moment, but I'm anxious to see what happens next, and if it gives me more context to this character that I read in Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, etc... not that movie though.. whatever that was. |

The first two books of The Dark Tower are kind of introductions. The Gunslinger introduces Roland, Man in Black and Roland's world. The 2nd, The Drawing of the Three introduces the rest of Roland's group, Eddie, Suzannah and a 3rd I won't name. The Waste Lands is the beginning of the journey to the Dark Tower. Wizard and Glass is Roland's back story. Wolves of the Calla is a neat little western sidetrip. The 6th and 7th are the rest of the trip to the Tower. My favorite pieces of fiction. I can usually figure out the end of movies. I knew the "secret" in the Sixth Sense and knew who Verbal Kint was long before everyone else. But I never seen the ending of TDT coming.
King said the best sentence he ever wrote was "The Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed."

One of those was written out of order, correct? Like the 4th book chronologically was written 7th or something? When I get there should I read that one in its chronological order, or should I read them in the order they were published? How was Skarsgård in that remake of The Stand? Someone suggested that Walton Goggins should play Randall Flagg when I was in the middle of reading The Stand (during covid) and now I can't get that out of my mind. Maybe Mike Flannagan heard the same thing. One can hope. |

So THAT is why Windows had a bunch of American flags in its starting screen yesterday!
