Wolves of the Calla The Dark Tower V

Wolves of the Calla is the 5th installment in the Dark Tower series and one of the most longest reads filled with great adventure and conflict making it a awesome read.

It starts out with the prologue introducing Tian a farmer in the Calla working on the fields with his sister Tia and they get a message from Andy the message robot (and many other functions) that the wolves are coming to the Calla from Thunderclap in thirty days to come and take or be given a child that has a twin which both causes Tian and Tia fear and frustration with Andy and the Calla. This causes a town meeting with the Manni and everyone of the Calla and they try to find others solutions to stop the wolves from taking there children. Father Callahan one of the calla folk says there is a way to stop the wolves and that is gunslingers. the calla folk all start out with disagreement but after a while in the meeting and finding out what to do they figure that gunslingers are the only way to fight off the wolves.
As this is going on Roland and his ka-tet, Eddie, Jake, Susannah and Oy are heading toward the Calla unexpectedly hoping there on one of the trails of the beams to the tower. but as there on there trail to the calla they fall into a todash which is a dream that comes into reality in your mind and they realize that the rose is possibly in the real world and they try to find out if they can reach the rose in the todash.
This is an extremely long book that took forever to finish but a really good book filled with adventure, drama and action which was the thing that kept me going throughout this long book.

I give this book a 10 out of 10 because of its way of keeping me glued into this book and making me keep going throughout the series.

Street Pharm




Street Pharm is a a book that pulls you in with a hook, the author Allison van Diepen is a high school teacher. She had spent around three and a half years at one of brooklyns most dangerous high schools. It basicly is about a young adult Ty age seventeen that inherited his fathers business, but this was no ordinary one or legal for a matter of fact. He has been brought into the drug game he was at a young age and he's not just the little man. He refers to himself as king of the streets, and his partner who was really his fathers untill he went to jail. His name is Sonny and there the main people in this drug "biz" even though his mom thinks completly different. His mom thinks that he's nothing like his father that he's not a "gangbanger" waling around the streets doing nothing but trouble. He has had her convinced through so many lies and he seems to have a talent for it. But his mom starts to suspect something when he pretends to be someone he's not to the alternative school he is supposed to be enrolled in, because he couldnt keep up with the regular school. Although his mom doesnt even know that he's supposed to go to an alternative school until she gets the call from them. So his mom suspects things about him but he still has her eating it up. He makes large stack's of cash and probably the one good thing is he doesnt do the drugs. But all starts to go bad when his father old compitition comes around his town and all of these things has been changing the way he looks at what he's doing. It's definitly a most intriguing read and will really tell how expeiriences even if there bad and they are mistakes. they can prove and show that when you learn from them it not only gives makes you a stronger person but starting to do the right thing.
