The Wolves of the Calla

I have just finished The Wolves of the Calla. It is the longest book out of the Dark Tower series, I'm pretty sure.

It was good. There were a few slower parts, but a good continuation of the series. There are several storylines going on at once, but they are defined easily, so the reader does not get lost. However, you definitely need the back story from the other books to understand this one. There are multiple references to the other Dark Tower books, proving that they should be read in order. (Except, maybe, Wizard and Glass would not be too hard to understand without the back story).

Jake becomes more developed as a character in this book than any of the others, except for maybe The Gunslinger.

The thrilling inner story of a town in desperate need is sure to enthrall lovers of suspense, westerns, and heros of all types.

You meet a major character from one of King's other well-loved books, who joins the tet in there current quest.

Susannah, meanwhile, is struggling with her previous disorder, as well as a new major problem, which leads into Song of Susannah.

Overall a good read! I give it 4 stars out of 5. Not 5 because there were parts that really drug along, and I feel this book gave one too many coincidences for my taste.

P.S. It is definitely worth getting the Dark Tower books with the pictures in them.
