Roland is the last of his kind, a gunslinger, a wanderer. His search for the man in black. It is a search through the worst places imaginable. It's a journey to the limit and a slow creeping out. He seeks the Tower.
The first book is a wandering. I've never read Stephen King before, and having the knowledge that this is Lord of the Rings meets The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, makes a lot of sense. I definitely am left wanting to continue with Roland's story, to see where his feet may wander and if the tower will ever be what he needs it to be.

This is my all time favorite series, even beyond Lord of the Rings. Make sure you read "The Stand" before book 4 of the Dark Tower series and "Salem's Lot" before reading book 5 of the Dark Tower series. There are other tie ins but those two are the most important.....especially Salem's Lot.
