Wolves of the Calla

I must add, I really enjoyed the character of Andy, the messenger robot. I found his relationship with the kids of the Calla hypnotic. He sings, he teaches these kids, and yet he has "many other functions".
Its characters like Andy (a robot - the irony!) that keep me reading DT. I think that applies generally too - the DT novels give King the room to explore character as well as plot, and other emotions than just horror and fear and tension.

I was a bit ambivalent toward him myself I think. there was something too obviously off about him for me.
he was a pain. like blaine. 
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

Avatar, I can see parallels to Andy in our society today (mostly in capitalist, consumerist culture - TVs, advertising, billboards etc) - I thought it was a cool idea to make the "propaganda machine" a real machine, a robot who looked like C3PO.
Oh, and I also enjoyed the pop-Culture references through DT5, from HP to light sabres.
