Song of Susannah by Stephen King (2004, Hardcover)

This is a welcome addition for a "Gunslinger Junkie" I was a little put off by "Wolves of the Calla" (book V), however, I believe "Song of Susannah" (book VI)reaffirms Stephen Kings's dedication to the series. This story puts the reader back into the rollercoaster of time and distance travel. Once again I had to sit back and recount which character was where and in what era. I love how the author begins to tie all of his novels together in this story, almost to reality. This is definitely one that is hard to put down! I am currently waiting on book VII and after reading book VI the final is going to be bitter-sweet. I highly recommend "Song of Susannah", this will bring happy reading!

I started reading the Dark Tower series many years ago when the first volume (The Gunslinger) was published. I read all the way up to Volume 4, then SK had stopped writing the series for a while. A few months ago I had realized that he had completed the series, so I started it over again from Volume 1, then began procuring Volumes 5-7 via relatives and E-Bay.

The main thing I liked about Wolves of the Calla is how it shows the strength and unity of Roland's Ka-Tet and begins to better explain how this series relates to many other SK novels. This is a very entertaining and enlightening Volume in the Dark Tower series! I recommend it and the entire series to any true SK fan!

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR MY SON-IN-LAW AND HE'S READ ALL OF THE OTHERS IN THIS SERIES AND SAYS IT'S A GREAT SET. THE GRAPHICS WERE NICE ON THE JACKET.

My last purchase was a gift for someone and I saved a lot of money. T item was in great condition and the service was fast and easy. I will continue to use Ebay until I get burnt. At this time I havr nothing negitive to say. Ebay has great buyers and sellers and a few bad apples, just be careful.

First off, the book arrived timely and in great condition. I bought it because I was at that point in The Dark Tower Series. While I did love the continuing story that was presented, I felt that King strayed from his other novels in the series too far in presentation and in form, as well as in story development. I felt that much of what he introduced in this story (mainly him as a character interacting with his own fictional creations) was unnecessary and bit vain. While it was kept up to some extent in the last book as well it was a distracting twist that really didn't go very far. Also, anyone who reads King novels is use to long books and long chapters. I enjoy those as they give you a mind world to live in for a good long time. That wasn't the case here. This one has short chapters and half of the time his wording in the 'stanzas' was strange to our ears without adding to the color of the world he had built. In fact those were also distracting. I did not like the illustrations, which I have loved in all the other books. Now for the good. The story is perpetuated in the book at break neck speed, which is not really Stephen King'ish' but it did get you into the unfolding of it easily. Much of this book takes place in our world (or does it? hmmm?) and I found those jaunts entertaining and exciting. The theme of vampires, which was introduced in Wolves of the Calla, was really played with in this book, and nobody writes vampires as well as Stephen King. All in all I did like the book, but mostly I recommend it for continuity with the rest of the story. It is the weakest of his Dark Tower books and has nothing to let it stand alone, as the other book can. It is definitely a bridge between the two surrounding novels and is also unfortunately necessary for the complete story.

I have all the other books in the Gunslinger series except this one. I haven't read any of them yet, I was waiting until I got the one that I bought. This book was in excellent shape. The previous owner took really good care of it and I really appreciate that. I am a Stephen King fan. I have been reading his books since the early 70's.

loved this book ive just tonight fineshed all of the seven books from this series this is the first books ive ever from stephen king

I love Stephen King books and collect hardbacks of them. The entire sale/purchase process was wonderful.

the book was in excellant condition. it is part of a series i have been reading for several years. i try to have hard copies of this series that i can keep for a lifetime.

i was trying really hard to put the rest of my husbands collection together with this series. i bought this book for my husband for christmas and was extremely pleased when the book came in. very happy with the purchase and the person i delt with. would do it again in a second.

I bought this product for my husband. He Loves stephen king books and he wanted to finish out his dark tower collection. When the book arrived it was in excellent condition. No a scratch and the price was extremely cheap. Im happy with this purchase.

Being an avid Stephen King fan and having read all of his books, I just had to add this to my collection. I started reading the GUNSLINGER series when it first came out and I have been intrigued ever since. This book picks up where the WOLVES OF CALLA left off. Great reading. Enjoy. A must have.

Not the best in the series but it was enjoyable. I liked how King refered to the earlier writings as it is difficult to remember from four books earlier. It was also a nice change to see the 'trip' through the eyes of another of the characters. I also enjoyed the revelations which came from 'Andy', of his position, his history and of his betrayal.

The book is awesome. Stephen King keeps me enticed til the very climatic end. Absolutely amazing. Make sure you get the Dark Tower VII on order before you finish. Wow.
