4.0 out of 5 stars Another step closer to the elusive Dark Tower, 6 Dec 2006
By Chris Hall "Dreadlocksmile" (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Stephen King's novel "Wolves Of The Calla" is the fifth instalment of the seven part epic "Dark Tower" series. The novel runs for 611 pages out of the series total of 3712 pages. The book starts off with King's `final argument' which is the last introduction to the books for the series. There's also a two page `afterword' at the end giving the reader a little more insight into the writing of the book. As in all of the other `Dark Tower' books, the large version includes colour illustrations by Bernie Wrightson that depict scenes within the tale.

Taking off from where we left the last instalment "Wizard And Glass", the book takes a while to really get going. King spends a long time setting the scene again, no doubt aware that when the book was first released there had been a six year gap between the two novels. Once the plot finally begins to take shape, King builds on the suspense of the battle that will inevitably take place. A whole host of new and uniquely interesting characters are introduced throughout the novel, drawing the reader deeper into the strange atmosphere of Mid-World.

From "Wizard And Glass" the reader has now found a new and deeper love for the character of Roland, which King utilises with developing on the characters little traits and quirks. As the storyline builds, King carefully weaves in clever sub-plots that incorporate some of his other previous novels. This, as I'm sure you are by now aware, has been a recurring theme within the "Dark Tower" series, but never so dominating as within this book.

The tale mounts to its final conclusion, which although short, delivers an action packed climax that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Yet again, the novel closes on a dramatic cliff-hanger, setting the reader up for the next part of this epic adventure "Song Of Susannah".

All in all, I found the book an enjoyable read from start to finish, but unlike previous instalments, the story-line seemed to weaken somewhat through the middle. King is a writer who certainly likes to write for pages and pages simply setting a scene. For me this ended up with each chapter seemingly over padded, which on occasion made the novel seem to loose itself. Nevertheless, the novel was certainly a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could Not Put This One Down, 8 Jan 2005
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Dark Tower: Wolves of the Calla v. 5 (Paperback)
If you have been hooked on the Dark Tower series, you should be longing to get your hands on this one.

The hero Rowland and his companions are still on their quest to reach the Dark Tower, but are repeatedly thwarted by problems.

This time a local farming community has been warned that the deadly Wolves of Thunderclap are coming back to wreak havoc and vengeance on their lands. The farmers desperately need Roland and his fellow gunslingers to protect them, but it is vital that Roland does not lose sight of his original goal.

Can they be successful in two missions?

This is classic Stephen King.

5.0 out of 5 stars Felicity's Thoughts, 14 Nov 2005
This review is from: The Dark Tower: Wolves of the Calla v. 5 (Paperback)
I read the entire Dark tower Series. I absolutely loved every book, but out of the set Wolves of the Calla is my absolute favorite. It had the most going on and was the most fun to read. There were a lot of Characters that I absolutely enjoyed meeting.
