Review of The Dark Tower V: Wolves Of The Calla
This fifth book in the series finds Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Oy at a place called Thunderclap just as predicted earlier in the series. King has found a way to outdo his previous books, diving even deeper into the characterization of Roland and his duties as a gunslinger. The Katet encounters a town whose children are kidnapped by wolves and returned to them "roont", or mentally retarded and physically deformed. They agree to help the townspeople stand against the wolves, and eventually discover the sinister reason for the kidnapping of the children. Meanwhile, the gunslingers must also deal with a threat to the Tower in our world as well as Susannah's deadly secret. The tension is building as the end of this epic tale draws ever closer. Look for Father Callahan from Salems' Lot as a main (and possibly permanent) character.

Stephen King books
Another great book in Stephen King's gunslinger series. Price was the best I found for it too!

Excedingly Happy
The book itself was in perfect condition and shipped in record time. The story is one of the greatest ever written. In this installment Roland and his Katet are fighting in Calla Brin Sturgis. Dr. Doom on gray horses, sneeches, Black No. 13 and Don Callahan!!

Number 5 in the Dark Tower Series is a page turner
I had to read this one straight through without sleeping. It had quite a few surprises in it and only made me even more anxious to read books 6 and 7!

Takes a long time to get where it's going.
In my opinion, (though decent) This is probably the worst book in the series. The whole novel is one huge build up to the battle with the mechanical wolves at the end. I felt as though wolves of the calla tryed in every way possible to side step the outcome of itself for as long as it possibly could til it got there, and god knows it took long enough. It's a good thing it's a central piece of a great and grand story because otherwise i don't see it making it on it's own merit. Calla lives for the ending, and nothing more.

Too long
This book was highly anticipated, and completely a long winded let down. Stop reading after Book 4.
