This is almost heresy, I know (at least, to certain sections of the internet) but I've never actually really been all that big a fan of Stephen King.

Never-the-less - and prompted, somewhat, by the upcoming movie - I thought I would still give what King himself considers to be his magnum opus a go.

And, I have to say - much like the central character of Roland Deschain is described - I found this to be somewhat slow, somewhat plodding, lacking any real sense of urgency or adventure. That's not to say there's no real striking imagery associated with it: for me, the best bit is the shoot-out in the town, but this just (as a whole) did not do it for me and has somewhat dooused my interest in going to see mthat ovie

For my post-apocayptic(ish) cowboy reading, I think I'll stick with David Gemmell's Jon Shannow trilogy.
