The next tale in the Dark Tower had me completely hooked. When I started this series I had to admit, the only reason I was going to take it on was because it was audio and I could listen whilst walking from the train station. But every other opportunity I was back on the kindle. Some where in the middle of the last book my habits changed and I was completely hooked on this story. Every opportunity I had I put on the Ipod and listened to this fascinating tale. 
 Song of Susannah tells the tale of Susannah and her other personality (well another sharing her head and body) Mia and their journey to have the baby that the both seem to be carrying (sort of). I'll keep this review spoiler free which means I won't be discussing the story much. 
 The story flows very well, has great pace, I have the audio running at a much faster speed as the narration is quite slow, but the story is well paced, thinking about it, the entire story takes place over about a 24/48 hour period and involves time travel into the future, yes you guessed it, 1999. The Kah Tet are broken up to achieve different goals. Two are chasing Mia and two are after Kelvin Tower for the ownership of the vacant lot. There is a meet up with Stephen King, which is bizarre and a little narcissistic, writing himself in as a god like character in this was a little strange at first, but then I started to see what he was trying to do and felt like it was a very clever piece of writing. 
 The characters are pretty well developed, so there was little new in that aspect, the Callaghan character continues to be one of my favorite, brilliantly written in its depth and timing. Mia is really the only new character in this book that has a ny major influence on the story, she is a complex mess of a character and King does a great job in describing the internal struggle between the two and there are soem fantastic moments of sharedness that make this storyline just so good. 
 I was a King fan early in my life, I liked a lot of Bachman work, but I stopped reading anything of his after Geralds Game, that completely put me off his writing, till now. In this book the last chapter is about King himself in world that our Kha Tet are travelling to. He mentions that it seems that all his books are written as part of the Dark Tower story. In my opinion, DT is King's finest work by far. In fact, here we go, big statement to follow, as far as epic fantasy goes, it moves to number two in my list, behind Malazan book of the Fallen, but ahead of Lord of the Rings, Thankee Sai, you speak truth and I say Thankee.
