Re: Best three memorable moments from The Dark Tower series?

First memorable moment: Eddie's death. I saw it coming when King wrote that the guy on the ground had picked up a gun, but I didn't know who it would be. Then King started writing it from Eddie's point of view, or from someone's point of view who was watching Eddie, and I sat there going, 'No, don't you dare kill Eddie, don't you f-ing dare.'
Even though I expected it, it was a shock, A massive one. I didn't believe that King could actually do it, but I also thought that he sort of had to. I cried. That's what makes it memorable for me.

2: The scene in 'The Gunslinger' (So long ago that I read that, yet I still remember this bit clearly) where Jake and Roland have caught up with Walter, and Roland is torn between saving Jake and continuing in his quest. Jake's final words before his 2nd death are possibly my favourite quote in the book. 'Go then, there are other worlds than these'
The fact that he was mature enough not to scream at Roland and call him names, but to calmly but hurtfully state that, really moved me.

3: Jake's third and final death, being hit by the van. I seriously didn't see that coming, or maybe I just didn't want to see it coming, but I cried, again.

Honourary mention to Oy's death, I'm glad he went by saving Roland.
