Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

There's something about a crippled, black, schizophrenic, civil rights activist-turned-gunslinger whose body has been hijacked by a white, pregnant demon from a parallel world that keeps a seven-volume story bracingly strong as it veers toward its Armageddon-like conclusion. When Susannah Dean is transported via a magic door on the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis (the scene of much of The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla) to New York City in the summer of 1999, the "demon-mother" who possesses her, Mia, has only one thing on her mind. She must give birth to her "chap" at a predetermined location in Manhattan's East 60s, as instructed by the henchmen-or "Low Men"-of the evil Crimson King. Pressed for time, Father Callahan, preteen Jake and talking pet "billy-bumbler" Oy follow Susannah and Mia's trail in an effort to prevent an act that would quicken the destruction of the Dark Tower and, in turn, of all worlds. Meanwhile, gunslingers Roland and Eddie travel to 1977 Maine in search of bookstore owner Calvin Tower, who is being hunted down by mobster Enrico Balazar and his gang, who first appeared in Eddie's version of New York in The Drawing of the Three Avid readers of the series will either be completely enthralled or extremely irritated when, in a gutsy move, the author weaves his own character into this unpredictable saga, but either way there's no denying the ingenuity with which King paints a candid picture of himself. The sixth installment of this magnum opus stops short with the biggest cliffhanger of King's career, but readers at the edge of their seats need only wait a few short months (Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower) to find out how-and if-King's fictional universe will come to an end. 10 full-color illus. not seen by PW.

From Booklist

King's epical Dark Tower hastens to a close, and its penultimate volume is one of the speediest. The gunslingers of Mid-World and other alternate Earths have defeated The Wolves of the Calla (2003) but lost one of their number. Susannah Dean, nee Odetta Holmes, lacking her lower legs after a minion of the Satan of Mid-World, the Crimson King, pushed her in front of a subway train, and whose personality is sometimes split between black bourgeoise Odetta and viciously paranoiac Detta Walker, has been taken over by the spirit Mia to be the body in which Mia will gestate a boy who will eventually kill head gunslinger Roland. The child is to be born in New York in 1999, which is where Susannah-Mia repairs through one of the doors between worlds. The other gunslingers pursue through the same door, but only 11-year-old Jake Chambers, accompanied by former 'Salems' Lot priest Don Callahan, get to New York. Roland and Susannah's husband, Eddie Dean, tumble into an ambush in New England in 1977. Each chapter--called a stanza and ending with two songlike quatrains--advances one subset of gunslingers' progress. King keeps us on tenterhooks throughout--and leaves us there. Before quite departing, he tacks on a clever coda about the gradual creation of the Dark Tower--but in which world? The series concludes with The Dark Tower in September. Ray Olson

2.0 out of 5 stars You have not read a review like this one, Jul 16 2004
By Danielle Southern "dee" (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah (Hardcover)
Please allow me to preface this review by saying I do not usually write reviews, because others have eloquently said what there was to say in most cases. Not here. When I was a kid (10 or so) my mom was a huge Koontz and King fan so I of course started reading and loved the stuff. I was about 18 when I found I had "grown out" of Stephen King and his silliness, but NOT the Dark Tower series, because it wasn't silly. Beginning a bit with Wizard & Glass it started to get pretty damn silly (Wizard of OZ stuff) and self serving. It used to be cute when SK cross-referenced all kinds of crazy crap in his books, but DT6 is beyond the pale. You've got Harry Potter, the everlasting Flagg, Emerald City, a list of "dead" celebrities, a "camel jockey" (not racist?) and of course Stephen King himself. It is unfortunate that SK is the custodian of this story, because if someone with a bit more skill had picked up from 3 or even 4, we would have a genre-crossing, meaningful epic that could even appeal to intelligent readers who like to stray into the wilds a bit. This book was ridiculous and unfortunately engaging because I kind of grew up with these characters and want desperately to know what happens to all of them. I just remember how red with shame and embarrassment my face became when Stephen King made a substantial appearance in his own novel,a sophomoric, silly, self-serving strip of stupidity. I am so sorry that this series has come to this. That being said, what can I do but stuff a few more bills into his thong for the pleasure of his last strut on the dance floor?

King should pack it in. These last 2 books of this series are nothing compared to the first 3

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Sep 1 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah (Hardcover)
I can understand why some people didn't enjoy this one as they did the others, because I think you have to look at this novel as part of the seventh book, in a way. Its storyline feels like more of a first half of one book, rather then one novel alone. Having said that, it was an excellent first half of a novel and I am egearly anticipating the last book.
