Book Review of The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1)

The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1)

In the beginning King mentions his desire to come up with something akin to the Lord of the Rings. This book reeks of cheap knock-off. I got maybe 100 or so pages into this book and realized I only had a vague understanding of what was going on, and so decided to put it down permanently. This is only one in a series of King books that I couldn't get into. I just don't get his writing style.
