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

Wow! this is so friggin tough.

I'll list a bunch, like everyone else.

In no specific order:

1. When Roland, Eddie, and Suze chase after the man that abducted Jake from the bridge in The Wasteland

2. [spoiler] Hot Chocolate in New York

3. When Eddie is shot

4. When Roland drops Jake

5. When Jake saves Roland from the blue van

6. When Roland kills the entire town of Zombies in the Gunslinger

7. The shootout at the gas station in Song of Susannah

8. When Roland, Alain, and Cuthbert take on the Coffin Hunters and the rest of Diego's men (pretty much the entire 4th book)

9. When they enter the same United States that the book The Stand takes place in.

10. When Roland climbs the Dark Tower

11. When the group encounters Stephen King for the first time

12. When the ka-tet battles the Wolves of Calla

13. Eddie and Roland take on the mobsters

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.
