A good chunk of this book was not good. I didn't really care about what's going on until it got to the "writer" part. It definitely work towards the last book. I hope all of this was worth it when I get to the last book.

My opinion on this series vary wildly as I read it. At one moment I’m baffled by incoherent and strangely self-indulgent writing and at the next moment I can’t put it down.
Unlike the previous few entries in the series, this book finally seems to be pushing the plot forward at a reasonable pace. With one book left I’ll be glad to be finished.

This series is trippy, but man can Stephen King weave an epic tale. I can't wait to finish the quest!

I honestly think that this is Stephen King's best work. It's been a while since I found a book series that gripped me like this.

Als je een trouwe lezer bent. Dan is dit weer heerlijk genieten van nog een deel in de serie.

Even though my least favourite volume in the Dark Tower, I absolutely love the song included at the end of every chapter. I loved it enough to search for it on the internet, print it out and keep the piece of paper hidden in my school folder behind the timetable.
Commala-come-come,
The battle’s now begun!
And all the foes of men and rose
Rise with the setting sun.

6th novel in the Dark Tower series has quicker legs than Wolves of the Calla but still suffers from that lack of a flowing story in parts. It’s still very good though and after the ending to book 5 you press right along wanting to know what’s going on next. The story almost has a LOTR: Two Towers feel in that it’s split up into different parts. The Roland and Eddie section was great and certainly had me gripped with its very unusual quest. The Jake and Callahan part was surprisingly short but still excellent. The Susan one had its up and downs, the best being the background story and journey through New York, the worst with Susan stuck in the Mia trap. The last section I quite liked though I get the feeling many may not as it might be looked at as pointless. Overall I enjoyed reading this one but it’s still not in the league of the first four novels.
