Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower #6)

I have invested so many hours in this saga that I have no capacity to nit pick its minor shortcomings or flaws. I am all in. Bring on the final book. 26 people found this helpful

This series just keeps getting better as the pages pass… now we have revealed the ultimate writer\’s paradox, a story that takes on it\’s own life – whose character\’s ask the writer to keep writing! I, for one, don\’t want this series to ever end. In this book, Stephen King (with the help of his characters) starts to pull all of the loose strings together. You won\’t want to miss this one. However, you can\’t start with this book – read the previous 5 first or you will be lost for sure! 52 people found this helpful

A very interesting and incredibly different book in the series. A lot of reviews are either a 1 or a 5 for this book. Many of the one\’s seem to involve the fact that there is little action, which was my original gripe with this book as well, just too much dialog. But it does finish very strong so my rating is closer to a \”5\”. I would give it 4.5 if I could. I groaned at the end of DT5 when SK was hinted as a pivotal character in the series and this book adds to that a great deal. But it is also very cleverly handled to not be annoying, well not too annoying anyway. The Susannah / Mia conflict is very pivotal in the book (hey, look at the title). Be prepared for some bizarre stuff, I\’m still not sure I understand her pregnancy after this book… I think this book would get a 2 or 3 if I didn\’t know that DT7 was just around the corner because this ends just too abruptly. Give it a chance, you may hate it, but I think if you don\’t mind a little psychology and philosophy that you\’ll come out thinking it was ok afterall, in fact it might even be pretty dang good. 14 people found this helpful

Mr. King offers a nice diversion in this edition of the Dark Tower series. We can finally see the end near. Constant reader will be interested in his latest twist, and the ending, though not final is worth every minute spent on this novel. 6 people found this helpful

This is undoubtedly the weakest of the 7 Dark Tower novels…but cannot be overlooked for obvious reasons. King does, from time to time, loose his way occasionally in some stories, and this installment represents that flaw…in my humble opinion. The characterization of Susannah and the others remains pretty consistent, but the arc of the story gets a little strange. The good thing about this book is that it isn\’t as long as most of the others. There is some vital information here in regards to the Dark Tower story, and it isn\’t BAD…just not up to the same standards as the rest of the series. George Guidall does a very nice job with the narration. 5 people found this helpful
