readingchia 's review for:

Song of Susannah by Stephen King
4.0

I liked it, and I also have some complaints. The story is as engaging as ever, and of course I'm going to read the last book in the series. But the cliffhanger ending drove me nuts (the last book is so long; surely some of that could have been added to this book to give us some resolution to the story told here?), and for a book called Song of Susannah, I found that there was surprisingly little Susannah in it. Yes, a good chunk of the story focused on her (and Mia), but probably half of the book was focused on the other characters, and ultimately, Susannah's story advanced only about 24 hours from where she was at the end of book 5! So, just a bit irritated about those things, but I'm certainly still in for the conclusion of the series. You have to give it to King that he knows how to tell an interesting story!
