Well I might as well give my own view on what the three best moments were for myself.

1.I think the single most affecting moment was Jake's burial.I don't think I've ever come more close to weeping over a book(no, I'm not heartless but I'm just not very expressive physically over books,even though they are my first love,lol).

2.I'm sure I can say this because even though it was quite near the end,it still wasn't quite the end.This is when Roland walks to the Tower and Patrick hears him proclaim all the names of the people who were part of his quest.There's something about it, like the most potent injection of liquidated "pride" in the history of man.That's as good as I can describe it.I think it's a pretty accurate assumption.It actually gave me the same sensation I get when I see Mel Gibson scream "FREEDOOOOOM" in the film, Braveheart.That part of the film would seriously make you cry.And then the slamming of the door when Roland enters.I think if King had of left the book come full circle there, then he would have gotten many more positive letters on his course of conclusion.I certainly would have been more pleased,even though I still thought the ending was magnificent.But that would have been pure brilliance at that,because it would have been up to the reader to decide what was in the Tower.So in that case, you wouldn't have random idiots complaining with their ....."Oh that sucked"....and their......"I could have written a better ending than that".

3.Em for me I think Oy's death was probably right up there with the most memorable.Simply because no one hates to see the dog die.I realize Oy wasn't quite there with the canine genes but its the closest we had, and in any film you see everyone's hearts go out more so for the dog that must inevitably die while saving the poor drowning kid.Or at least with me thats the case.
