Summary: Dark Tower VI - The best thus far?
Comment: I never thought I'd say I loved a book more than I love The Drawing of The Three. Even as I read the second installment of the still-forming Dark Tower story, I knew I was in love and that no other story (or piece of a story, as the case may be) would ever come close. However, I'm glad to say that I have proven myself wrong. Song of Susannah excels in doing what all the DT books have done so far: giving us great action, making us jump out of our seats, creating a rich backstory, and of course, it will make you turn the pages faster than you thought was possible. Without getting into spoiler material, DT6 clears up a lot of what happened in Wolves. Susannah's bond with Mia is explained, as are some of the Crimson King's desires. Some readers were scared that the story was getting too schticky when Roland and Crew discovered that Callahan and the events in 'Salems Lot were apparently works of fiction from a writer named Stephen King. Rest assured, this issue is dealt with in a decidely appropriate manner. Also, there's always the question of the rose. I won't say much, but the rose is handled. In true Dark Tower fashion, the book ends with multiple cliffhangers, but I think they're definitely better than the excrutiating ending of The Waste Lands. I'm sure it sounds like I've ne'er seen the book, much less read it, but I'm being vague as to not give too much away. Trust me, when you read this you'll love all of the "Holy Crap!" moments. It seems as if each chapter (stanza) is packed with them. All in all, I'd rate it as my favorite thus far, and I am officially a slave to King until the final installment hits the shelves. Hopefully the next few months pass without incident, say thankya.

Summary: Go then, there are other reviews than this...
Comment: This has got to be the best of the series so far! Ok, so it doesn't take on the same style as the rest of the DT series but I think that's probably the whole point. Those who have read the original Gunslinger will know that it was pretty way-out-there in the first place and I'm kinda glad to see it finishing the same way.
The use of himself in the book to me was nothing short of a stroke of genius. It really works, bringing the story both very close to home and on to a different world.
The entire series makes me think that SK is really locked up somewhere in a padded room and it's his twinner we see on the back cover. O'Discordia!

Summary: I'm Schizo Too
Comment: Here is one SK book you want to love and hate at the same time. I've read all his books about 5 times each, though, so I guess I'm going to have to give Steve a pass on this one. I was actually dreading the part where Roland & Eddie meet King (yes, he stuck himself in the story). Basically afraid that he couldn't pull it off. He actually gets away with it, but I wasn't sure whether I enjoyed the scene because Stephen King is my favorite writer, or because it worked.
Anyway, here's the bottom line:
-- You WILL read this book, if you've been following the series
-- It is probably the WORST in the series so far
-- BUT, you will enjoy it
I just re-read a few classic King books (Skeleton Crew and Stand). You really have to admit that SK hasn't been writing up to his level for some time now. But, this DT book is King enough--especially considering it's probably his second to last one.
Let's hope SK can pull off one more CLASSIC effort and hang up the strap on a high note. He deserves to go out like a champ...
