Wolves of the Calla: The Dark Tower V (Dark Tower #05)by Stephen King
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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... Review:"[A] hypnotic blend of suspense and sentimentality...sprawling, eventful tale of demons, monsters, narrow escapes and magic portals." The New York Times Book Review Review:"The high suspense and extensive character development here...plus the enormity of King's ever-expanding universe, will surely keep his 'Constant Readers' in awe." Publishers Weekly Review:"King stuffs the book with juice, like the big flashback, in which Pere Callahan reveals his past in...Salem's Lot. One of the greatest cavalcades in popular fiction is back on track." Booklist Review:"With every chapter, one gets the feeling that this colossal story means a lot to King, that he's telling it because he has to....If you've been hanging on since the very beginning, you won't be disappointed by this chapter, and you'll only be left eager for more." San Francisco Chronicle Review:"Once the bullets start flying and the blood begins to flow, you realize that the slow buildup was worth it. As in the previous books, King puts you into the thick of the action and delivers the payoff in heart-racing, cinematic fashion." The Oregonian (Portland, OR) Review:"Wolves of the Calla has no propulsion. It's a maddening exercise in interminable dawdling....[A] fairy-tale land of towers, wastelands, neglected characterization and a sprawling plot that works against King's usual narrative strengths." Houston Chronicle Review:"Wolves of the Calla is a better book than its predecessor...but it has some of the same drawbacks, though King does manage to lasso them a bit better....[It] gets us down the 'Path of the Beam' toward that final Tower in pleasurable fashion." Kansas City Star Review:"Like many of King's other books, this is a long one....Still, it's worth it. Say what you will about Stephen King, the man can spin a yarn, and a great one at that." Philadelphia Inquirer About the AuthorStephen King is the author of more than forty novels and two hundred short stories. In 2003 he received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
