A good story, but it didn't really advance much in the general arc of the overall story purpose. We have our characters trying to make it to the dark tower, but this entire book was spent helping some village people repel and destroy unknown raiders who show up and steal children, which is a good story, but I don't see how it did anything to further the actually getting to the dark tower. It's a giant cross-over with Salem's Lot and has some funny pop references. It's more of a stand alone book. You could read this whole story without really needing the other books, except for possibly setting up the style of the series, which is really weird.
Overall: good, but totally unnecessary
