Song of Susannah

In my review about the Wolves of the Calla I said that King took the Dark Tower series to a next level of weirdness, not knowing what was to come in this book.

Everything starts to blend. King explores the borders of reality and fantasy. He went in meta-mode, big time. Multiple times, multiple worlds, multiple personalities.
As this book is relatively short, it is fast paced. I thought the pacing was better then in the previous books.

THen there is of course the controversial decision from King to make himself a character in the book. I liked it, it was weird, but it worked.
It gave the story an intimate and personal charge, especially together with the coda in the form of a diary.
As a reader you can feel King is very much involved in his Dark Tower series, more then with the rest of is oeuvre.

4.5 stars for me
