      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.

      Also there’s a couple characters that are introduced that are super fun and interesting.

      The first one is something he was working on in college and eventually released. The second one was written after he learned to be Stephen king.
