The Gunslinger is maybe my second least favourite in the series (Wizard and Glass I like less) BUT I still really really like it, so that's not saying that much! It's so... scene-setty, and then flashbacky, and oh the death and, well, it's all awesome really.<br /><br />I didn't know there was a revised edition, but I wouldn't want to read it either- what happened is what happened man! (I may, of course, actually have the revised edition without actually knowing it, which would be quite annoying if true.) But anyway, yay Stephen King! I'll be reading the second book pretty soon, if you want to look out for that review :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-77107876073491930352012-02-06T15:42:53.535+00:002012-02-06T15:42:53.535+00:00I'm a little late to comment here, but I can&#...I'm a little late to comment here, but I can't believe nobody commented on The Gunslinger!<br /><br />This is my favorite book in the series. I think I've read it five times (I've read books 2-3 three times, #4 twice and the rest just once). And more than any of the other books, this one is just weird and all kinds of awesome. It has a lot of the early King vibe that I used to love so much.<br /><br />I've never read the revised Gunslinger (released in the early 2000's) but I've heard that it changed the tone a bit (as well as clean up some continuity issues). I don't know if I can bring myself to read that version. Seems a little too George Lucas-y to me.Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748178730844113883noreply@blogger.com
