Why is Wolves considered bad?

[AchtungBaby]

I love Wolves...

[gniknehpets]

I'm the one standing alone. I'm not that fond of The Gunslinger... I'm ducking, ducking, ducking!!! Now I'm running, running, running...

[GNTLGNT]

...for BB, Shasta and Frank....

[GNTLGNT]

why do some people consider this the start of the downfall of the series?

....I'm not of that camp, so can't intelligently say why(not that I say much intelligently, or intelligibly for that matter-anyway)...

It's not my favorite but I don't think it's BAD. In a series that took that long to write, it's inevitable that the books have different tones and styles. And people have different tastes.

Agreed! And in spite of or maybe because of the different tones and styles, The Dark Tower is one tastey story!

Wolves is a pretty good read thus far. I'm into it about 600+ pages now.

[Robert Gray]

My favorite is still the Drawing of the Three, although I love them all.

[carrie's younger brother]

Wolves... is my favorite.

[xforce11]

Wolves and Wizard are both favorites for me. But hey I like most all of them.

[blunthead]

Wolves... is my favorite.

Mine, too. Who says it's bad? Each DT novel is different from the last and so conceivably appeals somewhat differently to differing versions of CR.
