The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed. My favorite opening line of any book.

I’ll need to go back and check but the number 19 wasn’t originally mentioned before King revised The Gunslinger. I just remember them using her as a shield and Roland taking her out first.

I’m not a huge King fan but so here for this journey! Can’t believe you have so few subs, hopefully this work get you the attention you deserve!

Now this is a series I can really get into. I read The Gunslinger years ago, but I am definitely due for a refresher on it. I also could really use someone to guide me through the rest of the series (which I never finished.)

Keep it up, man. I love this!

The Stephen Kingdom xD Ok, didn't see that one coming. I've always thought about reading this series, but oh that's a lot of books. Hope you enjoy them!

I just found you on here, and I am SHOCKED you don’t have more subs. Excellent analysis, great humor, really good work! Immediately subbed.

Great summary! You deserve way more subscribers, excellent content!

Great review. I subscribed when you posted your original announcement video, but only got to reading The Gunslinger now. Have some catching up to do. On to The Drawing of the Three. And I would wait about five minutes before saying nineteen.

Wow. Great video. Had a blast listening to your summary

Wow, dude, I’m so glad to stumble upon this stuff. Such a pleasure to hear a recap in your awesome execution. Now I’m gonna watch the second book and then I’ll be looking forward to the next one. It was great.

Great summary of one of my favorite books of all time man! Completely agree with you about the dream like feeling of the novel. King does an incredible job taking all these western tropes and morphing them into a way that feels fantastical. Think I'm in the minority, but I actually like his original version of the novel before he revised it in 2003. Think that version works better as a standalone story, myself.

I needed a refresher on this book as I’ve just picked up Drawing of the Three. Great work with your review. Loved the passion and descriptions!

Great video. I’m glad you enjoy the first book in my favorite series of all time

Having just finished the series for the first time, it is extremely satisfying to see someone else experience it for the first time. Keep it up mate, I would watch this all the way to the end.

thx 4 the video. I've read all the series - defiantly worth it. stephen king is my most beloved author as well - almost finishing all of his books in chronological order. now rereading it in english you are helping with my read along.

keep enjoying King so we can continue to enjoy these reviews ❤

Such an underrated book tuber. Great commentary brother 👏

Nice review, bro. Enjoy your style. Definitely gonna be sticking around for more of your content

Loved your review, very entertaining

And you make me want to read this book once more... bravo !

Really enjoyed your video. Keep it up

I loved your review very entertaining. I've done all of these years ago and based on that I am redoing them in this order because I feel it makes the most sense based on where you encounter characters and premises. The Gunslinger The Eyes of the Dragon The Talisman The Drawing of the Three IT The Wastelands The Stand Wizard and Glass Insomnia Little Sisters Of Eluria (short story in Everything's Eventual) The Wind Through the Keyhole Salem's Lot Wolves of the Calla Black House Song of Susannah Low Men in Yellow Coats (Short story in Heart's in Atlantis) Everything's Eventual (short story in Everything's Eventual) The Dark Tower

Fantastic review 👍

I just finished this book and you had me in tears almost at your reaction/review of it. You're so funny. I have to say the lack of explanation in the Gunslinger left me pretty frustrated, but I'm going to continue to see if I jive more with the second book.

Great job man! I read this book way back in 1990 as a young teen ... waiting for the release of The Waste Lands in 1991. I've revisited these worlds many times since and have loved it more each time. Enjoy the journey!

Javier Bardem ooo that’s good. When I was reading I thought of the man in black as Ian McShane

You should read the original version of the gunslinger first then the revised edition at the end when you do the reread. I prefer the original version but the revised edition ties the series together a bit more. Anyway good luck on this endeavor.

Oooh Javier Bardem is an unusual pick for the man in black, but I like it. I think I'm gonna watch all of these. I've been missing Midworld, but can't be arsed to read the entire thing again.

“Just looking for attention” This whole vid is great! Well done!

I also attach actors to characters when I read and for me Roland was portrayed by Greg Sestero and the man in black was Tommy Wiseau... Don’t know why my brain works this way.

Cort was totally an angry Vesemir in my mind!

This is a great series. I have read this series a little over a dozen times. I love it when I get the time to smash my brain into any thing by Stephen King.

I read this book years and years ago and I don't remember any of the nineteen stuff in Tull. Just wondering if this is King adding to the story after the first print. He has done that kind of thing before.

No way, I didn't know it was a fixup. Or what a fixup is. But it makes sense, now that you point it out.

I read It twice, and still bearly understand what's happening. It's such a bizarre story.

I wasn’t really a fan of it I mean the first short story was fun but the rest was hard to get immersed in with some points where It didn’t really make sense because I accidentally missed a minor plot point

I would have asked instantly. 19 EDIT: Some people call him "Bama", short for Alabama, not Buba. Also, the man in black pushed Jake, he didn't fall into the street. Spoiler: If you are waiting for answers, you will be disappointed.

the fetus in the church lady died by no cause of his own. lone wolf and cub is the classic story of a hero taking care of a younger man.

Great comparison with the witcher fucking good shout man!

Do read Sapkowski. And then do try and find 3 similarities between him and King. I dear you! :D

In my mind Randall Flagg will always look like Mathew Mcconaughey lol

Roland aint no Hero :)

Javier Bardem is NOT the man in black. No way. No how. Nope, nope, nope! No! Hell no! Nu-uh. Not gonna happen. Nein! N’t! En! Nej! I can say it in Spanish - No!
