I finished _Wolves of the Calla_ a while ago and it was fantastic, but for some reason I just can't start _Song of Susannah_, not sure why.

"The Drawing of the Three" is my favorite book in The Dark Tower series.

And, on the other hand, although "The Gunslinger" is good, it happens to be my least favorite book in The Dark Tower series.

Because you're afraid of the oncoming end. You know it's creeping closer and closer and soon it'll all be over!!

Nah it's more that

I've found Susannah to be nothing but a pointless pain in the ass for the entire series and think they should just let her die and get on with the quest for the Dark Tower... I understand WHY they're going after her, I just don't care

It is the least well written of the seven, but Roland taking out the entire town of Tull is my absolute favorite scene in the entire series.

Yeah it was a highpoint for me as well, though having read both versions of that scene I prefer the original to the revision. The original wasn't quite as realistic, but did a much better job of stressing that once he starts shooting Roland isn't really human anymore, he's a killing machine.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing, I could never get into it either. Granted, I only got like 50 pages in or so, but they were a really boring 50 pages. I'm a fan of Stephen King's too, but generally the opening of a book has to get my attention and make me want to read it. I don't want to force myself through 100-200 pages of crap to get to the good stuff.
