I think this is my first book with Stephen King that is less than 300 pages. I felt some magic of King is missing in this book, which left me with more questions than the answers it provided towards the end. First off, the man in black and thr gunslinger .. who are these two characters? Are they even human? The Man in black - in whose chase the Gunslinger goes - says he is immortal and made so by the man in the dark tower.. but what about the gunslinger ? How did the gunslinger get on his trail? What is this dark tower and how does one get to it?
The book would be mind blowing,I feel, if all the aspects of it are known. But since a lot of it is kept under wraps - perhaps to be disclosed in later parts - this one feels incomplete and dissatisfying. Nevertheless, I will look forward to reading the others in the series.
