Mind you, I only read about the first half of book 1 before giving up on it.

You're judging a series of books by reading the first half of the first book of seven, which also happens to be the shortest of all the books? You're judging it on approximately 5% of the total material. I know they aren't for everyone, but you've not even given them a fair shot
King has repeatedly said that the first book (especially the 'original', unrevised one) is the hardest to read and get in to. If you are a fan of King, I'd suggest giving it another try; the Dark Tower series are some of my most beloved books.
I was happier when Abrams/Lindelof were attached, however, I am willing to give this a chance. I have no idea who they'll cast to play Roland though I admit I could see it being Christian Bale, and I don't know what to think of that.
