Wolves of the Calla continues the adventures of Roland, the Last Gunslinger and survivor of a civilized world that has "moved on." Roland's quest is ka, an inevitable destiny -- to reach and perhaps save the Dark Tower, which stands at the center of everywhere and everywhen. This pursuit brings Roland, with the three others who've joined his quest to Calla Bryn Sturgis, a town in the shadow of Thunderclap, beyond which lies the Dark Tower. Before advancing, however, they must face the evil wolves of Thunderclap, who threaten to destroy the Calla by abducting its young.… (més)

Wolves of the Calla de Stephen King (2003)

  1. 61
    ‘Salem's Lot de Stephen King (OscarWilde87, sturlington, Morteana)
    OscarWilde87: Not only is Father Callahan introduced as a character in Wolves of the Calla, but King's Salem's Lot (the work) is mentioned, quoted and integrated into the story.
    sturlington: Father Callahan first appears in Salem's Lot and makes an unexpected reappearance in the middle of the Dark Tower series.

    Harry Potter i la Pedra Filosofal de J. K. Rowling (pbirch01)
    pbirch01: King borrows sneeches directly from Harry Potter, nice to have a bit of background on them.

Iets minder sterk dan de vorige uit de reeks. Hier en daar voorspelbaar. ( )

While continuing their quest to reach the Dark Tower, Roland of Gilead and his ka-tet--Eddie and Susannah Dean, Jake Chambers, and Oy the billy-bumbler--cross paths with a small group of townsfolk from Calla Bryn Sturgis who request their help with stopping a group of masked riders who storm into the Calla every twenty-three years to steal their children and cart them off into the distant Thunderclap--a stormy and dark territory at the edge of the world. Roland agrees to meet with the townsfolk in order to determine if they can help them.

In the meantime, Jake and Eddie visit the New York of 1977 by means of trips during while they sleep called "toads", and from these visits learn more about the rose and the Dark Tower, and uncover a means to potentially gain a tighter grasp on reaching the tower. Oh, and Susannah's pregnant by something and has another, new personality trying to fight its way to the forefront of her awareness.

A friend of mine posted on Facebook that this is the book where everything goes kind of batshit crazy, and in all honesty, it does. So much happens that is both following a good Western tale mixed with a a bit of fantasy and horror, but then, a lot of coincidences occur that I had to just accept with little to no explanation, such as the proliferation of certain numbers. Following the story does require a knowledge of the previous books but only in order to follow the thread of the main storyline. But what I found most intriguing--and I'm still not certain if it's a good or bad thing--the reader gets to learn what happened to a character from a prior Stephen King novel, and by prior, I mean something originally published in 1975 and dealing with vampires. While I enjoyed this, I don't feel that it had much to do with the story being told in this specific book. I had that impression with much of the details proffered in this book with the series: vampires, numbers, name-dropping a lot of different authors, time traveling, Star Wars, robots, Harry Potter, etc.--had little or no bearing on the story itself. I hope these bits of information will coalesce by the final book. ( )

Now probably my favorite book of the DT series, this story shows the gunslingers at work in their traditional role, reintroduces us to favorite old characters and stories in SK's universe, and is generally full of interesting new characters, plenty of action, and all around fun and tragedy. We get to see Jake growing up and leaving the last of his childhood behind. Roland has another awkward standoffy semi-romance. Eddie and Susannah's relationship deepens, even as Susannah begins to separate.

Audiobook, via Audible. This is the first book read by George Guidall after Frank Muller's motorcycle accident, and his performance is terrific as always, as he makes the voices his own. But I do miss Frank Muller's voice. ( )

Even bona fide Stephen King fans don't know quite what to make of "Wolves of the Calla," the hefty fifth installment of his epic, and seemingly endless, "Dark Tower" series.
afegit per stephmo | editaBoston Globe, Erica Noonan (Jan 15, 2004)
 
It's been more than six years since Stephen King's last full-length installment of his "Dark Tower" fantasy saga. A lot has happened to him, and to the publishing industry, in the meantime. The improbable tale he began as a 19-year-old college student has somehow morphed into a mammoth summation of his entire career.
 
FOR the last 33 years, Roland Deschain, Gunslinger of the line of Eld, he of Gilead-that-was, has been trekking across the desolate landscape of Mid-World, a sort of postapocalyptic second cousin to our own world. Roland is on a quest, of course; he is searching for the Dark Tower, a quasi-mythical edifice that holds together all of time and space -- his world and ours and all the others -- and is in danger of imminent collapse. What he carries with him may be even weightier than that: Stephen King's literary ambitions.

Tian was blessed (though few farmers would have used such a word ) with three patches: River Field, where his family had grown rice since time out of mind; Roadside Field, where ka-Jaffords had grown sharproot, pumpkin, and corn for those same long years and generations; and Son of a Bitch, a thankless tract which mostly grew rocks, blisters, and busted hopes.
