I loved the sheer audacity King has in inserting HIMSELF into his series AS A CHARACTER, and one on whom THE ENTIRE STORY HINGES no less!!! Some might consider it egotistical or weird, but I consider it the ultimate example of how an author can rule his own world on the page. It's pure genius, and made Song of Susannah a special treat for me.

Don't even try to pick this one up if you haven't read the rest of the DT series. It's ultra-deep in the mythology and doesn't come up for air the entire 700 pages.
