coincidence has, as Eddie Dean observes, been cancelled. Everything the gunslinger Roland and his companions encounter has taken on symbolic significance. So when they come to Calla Bryn Sturgis, named after the director of The Magnificent Seven, its clear that King will follow the classic western archetype of a small band of heroes defending peaceable homesteaders. Here, the heroes resist masked raiders who abduct one of each pair of twins (and almost all children are twins), only to return them a month later horribly changed. Father Callahan from King's Salem's Lot is resident in Calla Bryn Sturgis, and has his own tale of vampires, regulators and the secret highways though alternative Americas. Not coincidentally, the evil Glass Black 13 is hidden in his church. Meanwhile Susannah is again sporting a secondary personality, this time Mia, mother to the inhuman child that Susannah does not know she is carrying, while Roland realises their quest has become a race against the arthritis which will soon leave him crippled. In this enormously ambitious book, King continues to weave together his back catalogue with the pop culture and literature of America itself, noting in his introduction that if you haven't read the previous Dark Tower volumes this isn't the place to begin. It is, though, a hugely entertaining adventure, rich in allusion; a passing aside to Thomas Wolfe might easily be dismissed, yet his title You Can't Go Home Again, encapsulates this entire spellbinding odyssey as well as five words ever will. --Gary S Dalkin

Advantages: Very imaginative and fun reading Disadvantages: Hard to put it down, but I suppose technically that’s an advantage?
This book is in my opinion, the best on the side story line of the series. All the way through, the gunslingers have encountered different situations and had to deal with it. But this book reveals what the gunslingers are all about. Even though they have a journey to the Dark Tower to continue, for as far as they know could be thousands upon thousands of miles. As a gunslinger they are required to help where help is needed.
As they get pulled into ... ...The people of Calla Burn Sturgis have some thing of great use to the gunslingers of which they are glad to be rid of. And are happy it can be given in return of the aid of the gunslingers, along with giving them food and hospitality. The book is set over a month, a month in which they stay and get to know the people of the Calla, but unfortunately that’s all I’m going to tell you of the main story line. A new member to the story and a very important ...

Advantages: Beautiful story, language and characters. Disadvantages: Might feel a bit too slow in pace at times to some.
In Wolves of The Calla, we once again join minds with Roland and his fellow Gunslingers. In the fifth novel in the Dark Tower series some important clues are revealed about the nature of the forces that inhabit the Dark Tower, worlds are switched, and the Gunslingers need to rally forces from different worlds to prevail.
This is a classic King, make no mistake about it. At times it might seem a bit slow to some people, but the change in pace is ... ...read his books, and in Wolves of Calla we meet some new and old (for the constant reader of his works) characters who will make you laugh, cry and curse in anger, all depending on if you want to see the Tower fall or stand.
It is hard to describe the book without spoiling the story, and I shall not go on further. What I will say however is, if you have not read all other books by Stephen King, you should probably go back through them all before ...

Advantages: the story flows - King is a great writer! Disadvantages: You would need to read the others in the series first!
Thank G-d I only started reading The Dark Tower series about two months ago - I don't think I could have waited the odd thirty years it's taken Stephen King to finish the seven books in the series. Roland continues his search for the Dark Tower with his gunslinger friends - encountering a Calla (community) with a very serious problem regarding creatures (wolves) who like to kidnap children once a generation. Throw in Susannah/Mia with a demon pregnancy, ... ...York (AND THE ROSE) and the tale of the Dark Tower just gets better and better. Stephen King has the great ability of keeping one hooked from the first till the last page and just keeps us begging for more... how will the Dark Tower end? As with the other four before this, I can't wait to get my teeth into Songs of Susannah. WARNING - you should not read this book if you have not read the previous four! ...
