After just having finished Wolves of the Calla but half an hour ago, I had to make my opinion known to the general public. I figure a review would do just that.
This book is in no way on par with any of Stephen King's previous Dark Tower novels. It is true that there is some very interesting character development, and some incredible twists, but for the most part, the book was VERY unsatisfying, and I believe mostly because....
STEPHEN KING WROTE HIMSELF INTO THE BOOK.
It is absolutely the height of ego, and has no use in the storyline whatsoever. I will give nothing away, but to say that I'm not sure how any reader could walk away without that nagging bit of disappointment in that particular turn of events.
All in all, I wish I had waited to check it out from the public library than to have purchased this hard cover edition.

I cannot say enough about the majesty of the Dark Tower novels. King has bridged tremendous gulfs between genres as diverse as fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and western. Wolves of the Calla is a monument of his achievements surpassing all others in the yet-to-be-released series. The novel is a brilliant scope of King's many years of writing and brings together many unanswered questions in the series'. Truly a historical achievment in literature.

Wolves of the Calla was the worst book I have ever read seriously what a mess. Just a jumble of activities that lead no where thats what that was. It made me sick to my stomach. Imagine me finishing the book I'm lying down on my bed then the book falls out of my hand, I clutch at my stomach, my face gets contorted in a grimace of pain and I slowly cry out. Thats how bad that book was. I don't think I can take another dissapointment like this, first the Matrix and now this. These eivl day and eivl ways indeed.
And this is coming from a hard core King fan.

I am a Hard-Core King fan. I first read The Waste lands when I was around 11. I am now 17 and love everything he writes except the way he leaves some character's lives unfinished.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
Although heavy on the scientific details, which slowed down the story for me (OK, I admit, I was one of those liberal arts majors who skipped out on...
