<human>: I enjoyed the Gunslinger so much and cannot wait to continue with the series.  A lot of people who did not like complain about it being hard to follow, too vague in certain areas, being too much work, and not liking or understanding some of the characters.

I think a big reason for me enjoying it so much is that I am reading it in [THIS ORDER](

Now before you get goofy on the graphic novel side of things, let me tell you how I started reading graphic novels at the age of 37.  At some point on the sub somewhere I read about Neil Gaiman.  I started reading him and got re-hooked on reading.  I read everything he had to offer (even the kids stuff) until I had run out.  The only thing left was his Sandman graphic novels.  I was desperate so I tried it out.  Got through the whole series and a friend of mine found out and recommended the Dark Tower series of gn.

I was already through the second series of gn when I realized they were attached to a book series.  SO now I am following the series based on the link I posted earlier and when I finally read the Gunslinger, I loved it in large part because I had already experienced the depth and detail around all of the flashbacks and references it made.  Alain, Cuthbert, Susan...the list goes on and on.  If I didn't know about these things already, I can see how the book would make no sense at all.  Knowing about them, makes the book one of the best I have ever read.

Give me a shortened version of the text
