The book series is very long iirc. Is it worth reading?

The first book is kind of weird but it’s creepy and cool, but the series really picks up book 2

I finished the first book and it was pretty "meh".

In what ways does the 2nd book pickup?

Idk man it’s just way better. I thought the same thing about the first book, the second one is just better written and has more interesting ideas and storyline that wasn’t properly fleshed out in the gunslinger because king didn’t intend to write any sequels to the gunslinger when he wrote it. I didn’t care that much for The Gunslinger but the second book sucked me in.

Alrighty, might give that a try then, thanks!
