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

oooo, toughy!

I coulden't possibly order them in a 'top 3', so i'll just put them in any order.

1. Rolands talk with Walter in 'The Gunslinger' first comes to mind, just because it really gets you thinking about the Tower, what it is, and whats in it, it also brings up some interesting ideas and theories about the universe, e.g the whole blade of grass thing. it just makes u think, and its the first time in the series hen I decided I really wanted to know whats in that Tower!

2. I think the final fight with Jonas and his crew in 'Wizard and Glass' was memorable, just because I liked the way the Gunslingers did it, sneaking up behind and picking them off one by one until somebody noticed, and then just going mental and shooting anyone possible! I know this is cheatin slightly, but I also want to link in with this Roland seein Susan die in the wizards glass, because its a very emotional and shocking moment. although we find out how Susan dies in the first book(if u read the revised edition) I had forgotten about it by that point, and so it came as a shock to me.

3. If I could I would choose the ending here, but since I can't, i'd have to agree with Irish Writer and say the bit where Roland says the names of all the people hes lost on his journey. This had an impact, and shows that although he is willing to sacrifice those he loves for his obsession, he still cares, and will not break his promise to shout their names at the foot of the Tower. for me, this moment gives me some hope that Roland will finally beat the Tower eventually, and blow that darn horn!
