Additional Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower, Book 6) Information

The next-to-last novel in Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark Tower.

To give birth to her "chap," demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to New York City in the summer of 1999. The city is strange to Susannah...and terrifying to the "daughter of none" who shares her body and mind.

Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah but also on securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses it to the Sombra Corporation. Enlisting the aid of Manni senders, the remaining ka-tet climbs to the Doorway Cave...and discovers that magic has its own mind. It falls to the boy, the billy bumbler, and the fallen priest to find Susannah-Mia, who in a struggle to cope -- with each other and with an alien environment -- "go todash" to Castle Discordia on the border of End-World. In that forsaken place, Mia reveals her origins, her purpose, and her fierce desire to mother whatever creature the two of them have carried to term.

Eddie and Roland, meanwhile, tumble into western Maine in the summer of 1977, a world that should be idyllic but isn't. For one thing, it is real, and the bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called Salem's Lot, a writer who turns out to be as shocked by them as they are by him.

What Customers Say About Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower, Book 6):

They came in good condition and in a reasonable time frame, given the holidays. So I went to Amazon.com and found the books (4) to finish the series. 7)Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5)Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, Book 4): and book 6 We had the first three books of this series, and my husband wanted to read the rest of them. I hunted at the stores we usually purchase books at and could not find them. Good purchase, he thought the books were great, so I am satisfied.The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower (v.

Monsters and vampires may be part of King's M.O. In most cases that was for the best. Only its association with the greater Dark Tower series brought this book up to a 2-star rating. Book 6 is without a doubt the low point of the series, although its immediate predecessor also left much to be desired. Many plot elements are introduced and subsequently ignored. But they do not belong here.

It is a collection of pages from his journal that are all tied together in that they are about the Dark Tower books and show how he feels, his thought process, and many other factors involving the series and his life.While more of a small (compared to the last two books, which were nearly twice as long) filler between Wolves of the Calla and The Dark Tower, Song of Susannah completes its task of setting up the final volume, and putting each character in place for what must eventually happen with the ka-tet, the Crimson King, and the Tower itself. Yes, that's right; one of the characters in Stephen King's Dark Tower series is Stephen King himself. The ka-tet is broken, as Eddie and Roland, Jake and Callahan, and Susannah and Mia are all off on their own, disconnected from each other in King's penultimate Dark Tower volume, Song of Susannah.In a different when, Eddie and Roland face another gunfight, only a day after their previous fight with the wolves and gather up more information on the tower, the quest, and the Tower/Deepneau pair. Then they meet an interesting character - Stephen King. While not playing a tremendously large role (at least, not yet), it is quite the move on King's part - rather ambitious, cliche, and it could easily be hit-or-miss to the reader.The Coda, however, is quite interesting and really illuminates how much the Dark Tower means to King.

I know it's crazy but I am actually reading 5-7 & then I will start from the begining again, I don't know how Mr. I read the gunslinger years ago & never got further, bought wolves of the calla & read that & of course got hooked, so I bought all the volumes. King does it but god bless him and thanks for your imagination.

This book is GREAT. The saga comes closer to the end. Anyone who wants to get into a good series should start reading the gunslinger, they are WONDERFUL.
