Well, depends what you're into. They're completely different from his other work, in my opinion. The first one probably stands off the most, because he wrote it long before the rest of the series. To me the characters seem to behave a bit differently than later on, and King seemed to be writing more of an excerpt from a longer story than a standalone one. Anyway, there's supposed to be a revised version of the Gunslinger coming out soon, which is brought more in line with the rest of the series. You might want to try that.
