52. The Wind Through The Keyhole, by Stephen King.

This is a Dark Tower associated novel made up of a fairy tale story within a story of Roland's childhood within the larger story of the Dark Tower. They all blend really well together, and the flow of the whole book is matched really well to the stories within it.

I really enjoyed reading this. Stephen King is one of my favourite authors, and the Dark Tower series are hands down my favourite books that he's written. The Wind Through The Keyhole was a lovely addition to the larger story, which gave some extra detail about Roland's past without being any less complete all on its own. Since I read this, I've been thinking a lot about the Dark Tower books, and am probably going to re-read the whole lot  very soon. I particularly enjoyed the title story, which is the innermost one. It has all the points I like about King's writing - descriptiveness, emotive writing, interesting characters, a good plot - and very little of the annoying points, where he over-describes minor things, or is overly mysterious about key points. Would definitely recommend to any fantasy fans, either alone or as part of the whole series.
