Great Deal Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5)
I just finished Wolves of the Calla this afternoon, and while it suffered from the same side track syndrome that permeated the previous book in the series, Wizard and Glass, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Even though it was pretty off track, Wolves of the Calla succeeds at being a wholly engaging and entertaining side quest of Roland and his ka-tet. The mystery surrounding the wolves and why they are nabbing a single twin from each pair from the Calla Bryn Sturgis is answered throughout the course of the novel, but there is much left to ponder when all is said and done. The story of Don Callahan, the priest from Salem's Lot, who died and found him self in the world that Roland is questing through is absolutely the high point of this novel for me. Especially the last couple of pages when some pretty interesting, or insane depending on how you view it, revelations about what this world might be come to light. Not much is done in this book concerning the groups main quest of the tower, and events at the end set up another side quest that may very well take center stage in the next book. Even though there was little to push the main story along, this has been my favorite book in the Dark Tower series up to this point.
dark tower reviews - tiff spatara -
I've been a Stephen King fan for nearly 20 years, and have only recently began to read The Dark Tower books. After finishing The Talisman and Black House last summer, I longed for new stories of the territories and so began my latest reading adventure. I couldn't be more in love with these stories and rave about them to everyone I meet. Roland and his ka-tet have captured my heart. Not since litle Jacky Sawyer have I felt so strongly for a character's fate, and I praise Mr. King for his undying devotion to his life's greatest writing accomplishment. These books have left me smitten. Thank you, Mr. King. Thank you for working so hard, so that all of us may play.

Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5) Overviews
Set in a world of extraordinary circumstances, filled with stunning visual imagery and unforgettable characters, the DARK TOWER series is unlike anything you have ever read.
Here is the fifth installment, "one of the strongest entries yet in what will surely be a master storyteller's magnum opus" (Locus).
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World on their quest for the Dark Tower. Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis. But beyond the tranquil farm town, the ground rises to the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is stealing the town's soul. The wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to. Their guns, however, will not be enough....
