Summary

Stephen King's epic fantasy series, The Dark Tower, is being made into a major movie starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Due in cinemas February 17, 2017 USA.

The pivotal sixth instalment in King's best-selling epic fantasy saga provides the key to the quest that defines Roland's life.

In the next part of their journey to the tower, Roland and his band of followers face adversity from every side: Susannah Dean has been taken over by a demon-mother and uses the power of Black Thirteen to get from the Mid-World New York City. But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play?

Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977. It is a terrible world: for one thing it is real and bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called Salem's Lot.

Song of Susannah is driven by revelation and by suspense. It continues The Dark Tower series seamlessly from Wolves of the Calla and the dramatic climax will leave listeners desperate to read the quest's conclusion.

Better than first reading if possible

I had missed so much from this book on my first reading probably in my eagerness to reach the last instalment The Dark Tower. It is a great continuation and is well read and acted by the narrator giving life and character to the stories cast. Onward to the final instalment. Be true

Complete down turn to a great story

I've been reading this story since the 80's and loved the first 5 installments. This one was an absolute mess with too many cop-outs and plot holes.

It appears that King ran out of inspiration. It seems that the pressure to finish the story got to him. Writing at parts were great and there were flashes of the old brilliance, but compared to the earlier books this one starts a spiral down that the story may not recover from.

The Rose in NY plotline should have been dropped entirely. It was done poorly and reminded me of a bad blockbuster movie plot.

Breaking of the fourth wall was not done well and unnecessary. King should have rather provided an author's note instead. His relationship with the story, shouldn't have been forced in the story.

Reading the last book now and it only gets better after the strands from this book are behind it. I think skipping this book entirely might make the overall story more enjoyable.

blandest book out of the series

Love the dark tower series but this one..couldnt find any love for it.

really dissappointed but I had to get through it to reach the 7th book to finally reach the tower with roland, had it not been for that Id have closed this book and left it sealed down to sheer lack of uninterest. the 5th installment wolves of the calla was fantastic and this one just really let e down.


however, no discredit to stephen king as his work is astounding !


just being perfectly honest is all.

Another cleverly created slice of the dark tower.

Really enjoyed this portion of this epic! real thought provoking stuff. The creation meeting it's creator? But who is the creator, and created?
Loved it.

the weakest link in the chain but thankai sai

I'm almost an original fan, back when there were only 2 books. This is my third (now listen) read through of the series, over more than 2 decades.

i'm not reviewing the story (I've read in 2 &6/7ths, so that's credit enough) but I'm disappointed to find the last book isn't available on Audible, especially after such a rant by SK at the end of this book about 'life's work'.

I guess an Audible version isn't commercially viable, so I guess I won't reach the Dark Tower for the final time..

Didn't know what to expect

Ive never used audio books before now so I didn't know what to expect from this. At first it was hard to listen due to the voiced of characters didn't match what I expected. after i got over this I loved it it was an amazing performance and ill listen to another

The Dark Tower," song of Susannah"

Great story, and a deserved addition to the dark tower series. Both exhilarating and intriguing unable to leave it until I'd finished........100%

Great Read(listen)

I'd read a few really bad reviews about this book, with many claiming it was the weakest in the DT series. It might be, but it's still strong and I enjoyed it a lot.

Blurs the line between fiction and reality

I first read this book a decade or so earlier and don’t remember being as impressed. Strange. I’m working through the audio books this time round - they are fantastic. The struggle between Susannah and Mia is a nice development and lends weight to the ‘plot’ (sorry SK), but the introduction of the author himself to the storyline is pure genius, and what a way to end the book!
