strange, wonderful and intriguing This is the first Stephen King novel I have read, at first I found it difficult to get into and then got drawn in the strange dark story. Not only that Stephen King includes himself in there as if he really has been there. By the last three quarters of the book I could not put it down and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Dark Tower 6 - Song of Susannah
King's sixth book in the "Dark Tower" series picks up immediately where "Wolves of the Calla" left off, reinserting the reader into the world of the gunslinger and his travelling companions. They resume their quest for the Dark Tower with a great opening scene, and soon cutting to the absconded Susannah and her new passenger ... Things progress smoothly and very competently in this penultimate volume, a shorter story than many of its predeccessors and more focused for it. The writing is condensed... more info
the best novel to date my favorite novel of the whole collection. one of the main attributes was the introduction of a new character; mia. while the other five books although good found the characters becoming a bit stale. mia threw my emotions in termoil from hatred to sorrow, from cruelty to love. one of the highlights of this novel was the introduction of 'stephen king' into his own novel!this other character turned the book (more) surreal than ever - yet strangely this made the novel as beleivable as non - fiction.more info
Hmmm....calm before the storm ! Having just finished the series, I can sum this book up by saying, for me, it is the least memorable. Every other book has a definite purpose, be it the bringing together of the main characters, Rolands history, the finale etc, but this seems to go nowhere.
Jumping from book 5 to 7 IMHO, would not cause any major disruption to the flow of this otherwise excellent series.
