  <default_description>Susannah Dean is possessed, her body a living vessel for the demon-mother Mia. Something is growing inside Susannah's belly, something terrible, and soon she will give birth to Mia's &quot;chap.&quot; But three unlikely allies are following them from New York City to the border of End World, hoping to prevent the unthinkable. Meanwhile, Eddie and Roland have tumbled into the state of Maine -- where the author of a novel called &lt;i&gt;'Salem's Lot&lt;/i&gt; is about to meet his destiny....

    <body><![CDATA[SOS finally provides some long awaited answers to long-standing questions in the DT series, but unfortunately, the book felt like it lacked conviction. I felt the first 5 books were packed with the conviction that Mr King was behind and involved in the writing. SOS, however, feels more like Mr King ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64970639">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was deeply, deeply disappointed by this book. I have been a huge fan of the series, and have enjoyed all of the books up to this one thoroughly. <em>Song of Susannah</em> is the worst of the series thus far. I honestly feel betrayed by the weird direction King took in this book, a direction that I had fear...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58444928">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you have read my reviews  of the Dark Tower series, then you know that I was not very keen to Wolves of Calla.  I felt that King was really reaching when he brought in Callahan, and that the entire battle at Calla was very dull and boring, mainly since I wanted the characters to continue ahead wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73905978">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Book 6 of 7, and I'm nearly done with the story of the Dark Tower. It felt like I got through this one in no time at all, and I guess that's the sign of a better book. This volume didn't quite have the excitement of <em>Wolves Of The Calla</em>, but it was tightly plotted with some great moments.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm going to reserve an more thorough review for the final book in the series. However, a few points specific to this volume;<br/><br/>First and foremost, I did enjoy reading this book, albeit even less than book 5. As stated in my review of Wolves of the Calla, however, there is a clear break bet...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60380319">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although apparently much maligned among fans, this is a respectable entry in the &quot;Dark Tower&quot; series that reveals Susannah's fourth (?!) personality, Mia, as well as the origins of her pregnancy, to the reader. The trips into modern New York are simultaneously funny and harrowing, and Susa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43864655">more...</a>]]></body>
