Karma
By Cathy Ostlere
I picked this book out because it caught my eye by the cover. It has short little poems when her father and she move to India and start a new life there. I like the book I can’t put it down it’s so good and juicy. This book is for people that don’t like to read. This book is full of little cute stories. I thought it was about a story that a girl is mean to her friends but her father decided to get up and move because her mother dies. From my point of view it’s interesting but some people don’t like short stories. If you like mysteries or surprises this book is for you. Then she meets a boy and she opens up to him and tells him how she kind of loves living in India but rather live Delhi. It’s about how she meets new friends and how she likes school but wishes she lives in Delhi and where all her friends are.
The Dark Tower: The Wind Through The Keyhole Review

Now I really don’t know how to start this off, but from my experience of reading, “The Dark Tower” series, Stephen King has done a fantastic job, especially since he originally decided to stop writing the series after 2004 with the seventh book as the climax of the tale. Now the secondary part of the title, “The Wind through the Keyhole” comes from a childhood story that Roland Deschain’s mother told him, when he was a child. Now if you don’t know who Roland Deschain is, he has been the protagonist of the series & is a gunslinger, which in his “world” is basically a knight who is of from the Line of The Eld, basically descendants of Arthur Eld (In our world known as King Arthur). Now Roland & his ka-tet (his posse) Jake Chambers, Eddie Dean, Susannah Dean & Oy begin their story arriving at a river on their journey to the Dark Tower, where an elderly ferryman named Bix offers a ride across the river and also informs the Ka-tet that a starkblast (severe storm) is going to hit and that they must seek shelter nearby. Now from there, Roland’s ka-tet shelter themselves in the town center of River Whye and begins to tell the second part of this story starts with Roland and Jamie De Curry traveling to the town of Debaria to hunt a skin-man (shape shifter). After going to a gruesome massacre in Debaria of one of the local families, they find a sole survivor, Bill. After bringing Bill back to Debaria’s jail to keep him safe from a vengeful skin-man, Roland decides to comfort Bill by telling him a childhood fairy tale his own mother read to him as a child, which leads to the third part of our story and the title of the story.
Now this part of the story, is where we get the artistic design of the cover and the title The Wind Through The Keyhole, which is about Tim Ross, the son of Big Ross (A lumberjack) who was supposedly murdered by a dragon but actually murdered by his woodsman partner Big Kells, who ends up marrying Tim’s mother because Tim’s mother couldn’t afford the price of taxes that the Covenant Man collects for himself every year. Now Tim goes on a quest to find a cure for his mother’s blindness after Big Kells brutally beats her. Now I’ll leave the summary of the story so I don’t ruin the ending for you. Now for the entire amount of the series I’ve read and of the amount of Stephen King books I read, this novel is very action packed, surprising and obviously it’s not Stephen King’s typical horror/thriller genre he tends to fall into, but his fantasy universe “The Dark Tower” & his in-between novel The Wind Through The Keyhole, is a fantastic addition to the series and I honestly put it in my top three reads.
