Review

'Pulse-poundingly engaging’ (Sunday Express on SONG OF SUSANNAH )

‘Join the quest before it’s too late’ (Independent on Sunday on SONG OF SUSANNAH )


Product Description

This a pivotal instalment in the epic saga provides the key to the quest that defines Roland's life.

In the next part of their journey to the tower, Roland and his band of followers face adversity from every side: Susannah Dean has been taken over by a demon-mother and uses the power of Black Thirteen to get from the Mid-World New York City. But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play?

Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977. It is a terrible world: for one thing it is real and bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called 'SALEM'S LOT.

SONG OF SUSANNAH is driven by revelation and by suspense. It continues THE DARK TOWER series seamlessly from WOLVES OF THE CALLA and the dramatic climax will leave readers desperate to read the quest's conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Tower series takes on a whole new & original level, 22 Dec 2006
By Chris Hall "Dreadlocksmile" (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Stephen King's novel "Song Of Susannah" is the sixth instalment of the seven part epic "Dark Tower" series. The novel runs for 427 pages out of the series total of 3712 pages. Unlike within the previous installations, the book does not include an introduction from King himself (Wolves Of The Calla delivered his last `argument'). However, the book does finish with a two page afterward. Again, the hardback version includes some full colour illustrations (ten in total), this time by Darrel Anderson.

The story begins directly from where the previous novel left off, throwing the reader once again into the mysterious world King has created. From the very beginning, the tale picks up a fast pace, setting down clever twists and turns for each one of the main characters we have followed closely throughout this adventure. With a similar construction of the storyline to that of "Wolves Of The Calla", the fragmented plot lines that gradually draw together is a lot tighter within this action packed novel.

King develops upon the character of Susannah's multiple personalities, bringing out further layers to their rich personalities. Whilst the three separate tracks of the story weave their way through the book, King takes his almost surreal angle of bringing in the real world by introducing himself as a major character within the book. This brings a whole new and original approach to the saga, which tricky as it sounds, works surprisingly well. In doing this, the Dark Tower series becomes a more involved and personal adventure for King.

The novel draws to a close with a chapter constructed from the pages of the character of Stephen King within his own novel. These fictional accounts detail the real life of the writer in a way that reflects the parallel world from the series. Confusing as it sounds, it does work very well, bringing all the previous books tighter together and linking them to our own reality.

All in all, I found this instalment into the "Dark Tower" series one of the most rewarding and enjoyable reads of all the books so far. Short as it is compared with the previous books, "Song Of Susannah" is rich in its storyline and cleverly ties in almost all of the previous events laying the ground for the final book to complete this epic journey. An absolute pleasure to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm....calm before the storm !, 25 Jul 2007
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesnt feel like the dark tower anymore., 28 Feb 2007
Ok, this is the sixth book in the Dark Tower series. The first five books were outstanding and brilliant 5/5. But this book has none of the magic of the first five.

Its slow, boring and fails to pull you in. I was gutted. I have spent ages reading the dark tower and they seemed to get better with each book. I think one of the problems for me was that 95% of this book was set in our world, not the gunslingers. Reading about mid-world and end-world was amazing and you could see the beauty of these well written places. Unfortunately reading about New York of our world was just boring and seemed to be going nowhere fast. The magic of these books was the fantasy places that Roland and his friends travel.
