Wolves of the Calla
by Stephen King
For the first time in this series, I would say this book was not better than the last. However, do not mistake that for it not being good, nor for my level of enjoyment of it, which was high. Really, it speaks towards the overall greatness of Wizard and Glass more than it does to any shortcomings of Wolves of the Calla, of which there are few. You really gotta hand it to Stephen King. It is so obvious that he has put his all into writing this series to the best of his ability. What other writer can take a bestselling book out of his own career and turn it into a prop in a another book almost twenty years later and have it all actually make sense? Total brilliance. The crossover of worlds,and their subtle differences is at the heart of this entire series, but it comes shining through in several more ways in this chapter of the series. (The aforementioned Salem's Lot, Phantasm, Dr. Doom from Marvel comics, Harry Potter......on and on) Hilarity and brilliance. There's really not much more to say about it. I'm completely in awe at how each of these books can more or less stand on their own, yet they continually move the overall story so cleverly and so effortlessly. And I love, as in any good story with many volumes, how naturally the characters become more a part of you with every new moment. This is his masterpiece at work, and I couldn't be enjoying it any more. I mean, how he can make a robot a character that you hate so much that you want to stand up and cheer when he meets his end.....that takes a lot of talent. The stories are complex on the surface, but so very simple in their truest form and essence, and written with amazing subtle grace. And that may be the best part of all. Say True. Say thankysai. Say big-big. We were met well in the Calla, were we not? Indeed we were. And ever closer to the Dark Tower...... Now, let's go get Susannah.
