Any Stephen King fans out there?

My first Stephen King. I've been told by multiple people this is a really good one but I'm about a third of the way through and I'm still not hooked. Should I be more patient or is Stephen King just not for me?

I do not remember if I read this one.

I recommend The Gunslinger. It's short and grabbed me from the first line.

"The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed."

@Doomflower sounds intriguing.. I'll add it to my reading list! Thanks 😊

@RebelHeart there are seven books in the series and get progressively longer as they go on. My favorite is probably the first but every book has something for everyone.

The series over all, especially from the third book onwards, is probably more enjoyable if you're familiar with King as an author.
