I understand that the newer version has a different ending and some new characters and scenes that weren’t in the original. But the original is what got all the accolades and was considered his best book.

Which way should I go?

    When you get to the Dark Tower series, read the revised version of The Gunslinger. He went back after writing the other 6 books and cleaned up some loose ends and plot holes. Flows much better too.

      The original Gunslinger is rough and raw in a way that’s missing from the other Dark Tower books.

      King is best unrefined.
