Wow, I couldn't put The Gunslinger down. But with no backstory right away it may be hard to start that book. But yes, they do get better and more involved.
And if you have read most of SK's books, you are rewarded by the way The Dark Tower is somewhat related to little parts in many of his other books (of which have been mentioned). It's like all the little pieces completes the Big Picture.
But, can someone explain the link between Eyes of the Dragon and The Dark Tower...I may have missed that, although it has been a long time since I read Eyes (even though I have read it 3 times!)
Wish I could tell you how the stories in Hearts intertwine, but I can't remember how. In fact, I felt like Hearts was one of King's weaker books.
