"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
The story starts with that particular sentence, which I think was particularly good.
This is a story about a man, in pursuit of his dreams, the sacrifices he has to make and his love ones he has to give up in the process.
Seven books altogether. The most 'original' storyline I've come across lately. You can tell that S.King had no idea what he was writing about when he started the book and personally I did thought that it was almost impossible to continue the story. But somehow he did finished it off. And hence the ridiculously 'original' storyline. Some might think its just crap. I guess that's the reason he took more than 12 years to finish off the story.
I've spent about 135hrs listening to this audio book. That's about 5 to 6 days straight. Thank God for audio books. Manage to spend about 5hrs a day 'reading' while driving and working etc.
Marvel has made a comic out of the story, featuring the main character's younger years.
Film adaptation of the novel has already begun!
