A review by laviskrg
Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King

2.0

This book was a disappointment. So many pages wasted on an alcoholic Catholic priest. So many pages wasted on the dramas of hicks no one cared about. But by far, the biggest insult was the ending. 800 pages of bullshit for a 3-page shoot-out which simply takes place, simply IS, with only two casualties and in such lame conditions. The "Bad Guys" were by far the most disappointing element. Robots built in the shape of Doctor Doom (Marvel comics), wielding light sabers and fucking Quidditch Snitches? "Wolves of the Calla", you can go fuck yourself. I give this lame manifestation of literature 2 stars because of the scenes with Susannah (which were by far the best) and because the premise had so so so much promise. Sad it could not deliver...
