I think this is even more astounding given the Roland himself was initially patterned on the classic, iconic western gunfighter.
*** Roland Deschain is THE MAN and belongs among the truly ICONIC figures in 20th century literature and is certainly among my top ten favorite characters of all time. In a vacuum, I would have probably given this 5 stars due to the “Chilly Palmer/Josey Wales” awesomeness of the character of Roland. Hence, I only give this book 4 stars because in comparison to the rest of the series, I thought this book was by far the weakest.
Therefore, my review is colored by my knowledge of how the rest of the series is. *** There are no spoilers in this review but I have read the series twice all the way through and am doing a third reading as part of a group read this month. *** I think the Dark Tower series as a whole is a staggering achievement and belongs in any discussion without qualification of the “ Greatest Fantasy Series of All Time.” A few things you should know before deciding how helpful this review will be for you.
