I've avoided his books all these years because I knew they were horror genre, but we got desperate for something to listen to on commutes, and the library had "Under the Dome" available, so we decided to give King a try because the premise was interesting. We liked it. Yeah, there were some icky parts that still stain my brain, but over all, it was worth the listen. Not so with "The Gunslinger". It read like a bad dream with way too many flashbacks, and the second book started out the same way.
No, thanks. I'll find some other author for new audio material.
