Is it worth sticking with the Dark Tower if I'm not completely into the Gunslinger? (slrpnk.net)

I'm not saying I dislike it but I'm finding it hard to get through and it's incredibly short. I enjoyed the first chapter in Tull and I enjoyed the desert scenes but since then I've been finding it hard to focus on. I like the characters too but it just feels a bit... Boring in places?

Is the entire series like this?

Edit: I've now finished it and I'm reading 11.23.66 but not sure if I should read The Drawing Of The Three after.

Wrote a longer response but Memmy ate it.

In short, yes. Read the next two books at least. The Gunslinger has a different style that many find off putting (even fans). The remaining books all more closely resemble King’s traditional writing style.

Okay! Then once I finish 11.22.63 I'll jump into Drawing Of The Three. Thanks
