The Gunslinger

I haven't liked Stephen King books. They always seem like they came up with a couple good ideas, but then does the minimum amount of work to thread those ideas in the story. So maybe it was a mistake to pick up The Gunslinger, but everyone kept raving about how great of a fantasy series it was. Maybe this one's good, maybe this is where King comes into his own. But once again, I was disappointed. Kings done an okay job world building, even if it's a bit cryptic, but there's nothing else. Very little character development, a plot I can summarize in a few sentences. I didn't hate it, but I was bored pretty much the entire time.
