Roland Deschain, the main protagonist, is perhaps one of the most memorable fantasy heroes. Though his character is slightly limited due to his constant distant demeanor one begins feel a great fondness for the man. The world chewed him up and spit him out yet he keeps trudging forward.
What really makes the book special however is the poetic feeling of the writing itself. It mesmerizes readers drawing deeper and deeper into Roland's world.
"The Gunslinger" is a must read that will take readers from this world into an almost poetic fantasy and leave them wanting more!

"The Waste Lands" was new in the book stores when I discovered them, so I waited a long time to see how it ended.
I actually followed Mr. King's warning and didn't read the very end. I remember it was really late at night. I closed the book, put it on my bedside table, and went to sleep.
I managed to wait until the next day before I couldn't take it any more, and I did finish it.

The story line kind of dragged especially when the one book was based upon Roland's lover the whole time. I enjoyed the series as a whole; but, there were some instances where I struggled to get through it.

I didn't want to start them either. I did and they were AWESOME. Start off with "The Talisman" before you read the series. It will get you intrigued with the territories. It isn't what I would call a horror story though... there are certain creatures that you could consider monsters, but there are other aspects of the series that a woman can love. You are going to want to listen to your boyfriend
