As a diehard King fan for many years and ardent follower of the Dark Tower series, I treated any new installment as a special gift, something that I wanted so badly that I even when I bought it I was reluctant to start, because to start would surely bring about the end. This is no exception. King continues his infamous "Dark Tower" series with one of the most interesting turns yet. The journey halts for awhile as Roland and his band realize that helping the citizens of the Calla is another piece of the puzzle they are trying to solve. King's major strength, his character development, gets a real workout here as the story shifts from the continuing journey to another aspect of a gunslinger, helping those in need of aid. This is a truly great read and one of my favorite in the series. A library must-have, along with all the installments in this series.
I love the "Tower" series of Stephen King books. I haven't read this one yet, but I am absolutely sure it will be just as good if not better than all the rest of them.
This book finished my collection of this series of Stephen King books in hardcover and I would highly recommend reading and collecting all of them. This series of books is by far the best I have ever read.
I am reading the book series,The Gunfighter by Stephen King and I am enjoying it. Wolves of the Calla is book number 5. I haven't read it yet, but the previous books in the series are excellent.
steven king does an other great job. I have read all the others and this is a good. I have not read the comic book, it might be nice for the pictures. it is worth all the time and efort to get throw them all.
I bought this book because I liked how cheap it was to buy it. If you buy books outside of ebay your buy books at their original price or a little cheaper. I love to read, but I don't think I should pay an arm and a leg for it. I love that this book is new so you don't have to read a "falling apart" book just to get a low price. There is never really anything to dislike about buying a book on ebay because you tend to know what your getting when you buy it. This particular book was just as described. If I disliked anything about this book it would be that it takes a long time to get books because their sent by media mail, which takes a long time. So be prepared to wait for any book bought because you or the seller has no control over the time the book gets to you unless have the option to upgrade. In the end, I bought this book becasue it is book five out of seven and I have to have it to get to the end of the story. Always look to ebay first before you buy a book anywhere else. This particular book retails at $35 and was purchased on ebay for $8. I think you would be hard pressed to find a deal like that anywhere.
I ordered the book for my son in Florida who reports that it arrived promptly and in good shape and is happy to have the next volume of the series he has been reading.
Love this series, and waited impatiently for each and every book. This book kept me reading and when I had finished it I eagerly waited for the next. SK fans should be happy with this book, it delivers. Note: In order to fully appreciate this book I definitely urge you to read the entire series before it, on it's own it is still a good read, but it is after all part of a collection.
I love Stephen King and this series is unbelieveable. If you haven't started this series I would say it's up there with J.R. Tolken. Imagine Clint Eastwood the no named gunslinger from Hang em High put into a future world that has regressed back into the old west, but he can travel to different sections in time and alternate universes. Basically it's Doctor Who vs. Hang em High. The buying experience was also great because I got a handwritten note from the sender thanking me. It was an all around great experience.
For you dark tower lovers you will not be disapionted... once again stephen king at his best! famous for his charactor tie ins you'll be sure to regonize a few names,, A must read hands-down!
I am not the one reading this book, I bought it for my wife, Who is a die hard Stephen King junkie. This book was one that she didn't have to complete the series of the ones she does have. She is always seen with it, on the porch sitting in a chair reading, on the couch reading while im watching the t.v.. reading In bed at bed time, She even brings it to work with her to read while on her lunch break. I guess in a nut shell she loves it, what more can I say!
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!
