Song of Susannah is often considered the black sheep of The Dark Tower series, mainly because it traverses some odd storytelling territory. However, in my opinion, those oddities help make this book exciting, setting it apart from other entries in the series. Plus, one of the things I love about The Dark Tower is how odd the story is.
Way better than I remembered. Such a good entrance to the last book.

As the title suggests, this book builds up a nice rhythm, like a real song. Just after finishing every chapter/verse, I wanted to read the next one. I think Song of Susannah is up to now the part where King succeeded best to build up the suspense. However, in this part of the story only a few things come to pass and just after finishing the book I asked myself "What happened, actually?"
Though this book is not as straightforward as the first three books and you sometimes may think that King really got insane, I like how the author (or The Tower?) captivates the reader more and more, the closer we're approaching it. Borders between fiction and reality blur in such a great way and I keep asking myself whether King is a genius or a maniac (reading the coda was a bit exhausting...). Anyway, in a way I can totally relate to this story and I just can't stop thinking about it.
