king story

I love the Dark Tower series. The other story didn't care for. I am not into that type of fantasy.

King was good.

The dark tower story was good, the other one probably was too. I just had never heard of him and it literally turned into a word salad referencing things I didn't know or care about.

King Story Excellent

Stephen King provides us with an untold chapter from his epic saga Dark Tower focused on main character Roland. 5 stars

The other story by Silverberg was terrible - ridiculously long names mentioned every other sentence.

Performance was overdramatic, pompous, and utterly laughable.

great short storys

they were both great short stories really loved the dark tower one wish there were more on that series the new one I will have to give a closer read

meh...I should have read the description oser

This was a book made of two short stories that are part of bigger stories, I think 🤔. Kinda a waste of my credit.

One well written, the other insightful

Silverberg tells a SF story of true insight by human into the poetry of the alian mind. I feel I'm entertained, while having my mind made more subtle in ways where I hadn't recognized a lack before; thank you sir.
The first story by S. KING is true to the rich storytelling he's known for. I've read, and heard the "gunslinger of Gilliad" through, and through, yet still savored hearing a tale well told; Remarkable feel of time, and place. Loved it.

50/50

The book by King, was enjoyable ! I'm a huge fan of the Dark Tower series. The second book was entertaining while I was busy. But to much like a romance novel with out romance. Also kept waiting for John Carter to jump into the story.

Only worth is for DT fans

As others said, this book is only worth it if you’re a Dark Tower fan. The first half is a great little story about Roland. The second half by Robert Silverberg is absolute garbage... uninteresting story, poor writing, and just an overall waste of time. If you buy this, do yourself a favor and tell audible you finished the book after the first half.

great book

Stephen King's book about Roland and The dark tower was an exceptionally nice treat for all you dark tower series fanatics just like myself. the other story was good but different from Stephen King, all the same it was well-written. thank you both authors

More than worth it for just the Dark Tower part!

(disclaimer) I love the Dark Tower series and have read them all. For Stephen King to write a "in-between" story between two early books was wonderful. Frank Muller is a fantastic narrator/story teller and I was delighted that they got someone sounding familiar to do it rather than (sorry) Stephen King doing it. Great writer, bad narrator in his last Dark Tower book. Having Roland of Gilead - the Gunslinger, wander through his world again in his quest for the tower was nothing but ear candy. While not his best work, the story deserves high praise for keeping to the lineage but not contradicting what has already been written. "The Little Sisters of Eluria" stands alone on its own which is a feat in of itself.
The second part by Robert Silverberg is good, not great but well written. Narration is acceptable and professional.
I found myself asking the author to fast forward several parts that did not seem to add to the story line and were slow.
