A Goodreads user asked this question about The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, #1):

Maybe you could start the second one and see if you like it better, but if you don't like it, you don't like it. Honestly, I wasn't big on The Gunslinger either, and I don't plan on continuing. I was really bummed. Everybody talked it up so much, so I expected it to be great. Instead I found it slow and hard to understand. For me, life is too short to try to force yourself through a book/series you obviously don't like... but people are different. I'm glad other people found so much enjoyment with this book, it just didn't resonate with me(less)
