If Roland doesn't win, something's wrong.

Well I guess I'm going to be different. I had to go with The Losers Club. How could I not!

The man in black fled across the desert.

And who followed him? That's right, The Gunslinger!!

If we are to consider The Losers Club as group, should we not measure the Katet in the same way or how about the the whole group at Boulder Colorado?

I think there was some discussion about it in the nomination threads. and I believe some valid arguments were offered, - like, the difference in time of appearance in the book, and the necessity of differing between Roland himself and the rest. It's too late now anyway. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

I voted Larry... though it was hard between him and Stu and Roland.

I'll blaspheme and say that I didn't find Roland to be that compelling of a protagonist. He seemed, to me, more of a device. The real protagonists in The Dark Tower series - again, to me - were the rest of the ka-tet.
jayson
03-24-2009, 07:24 AM
Interesting viewpoint Pablo. Of course the opposite argument could also be made that the tet were devices to set up Roland's character development. I don't personally subscribe to either theory, but it's interesting. :)

I just need to decide on my yardstick so I can settle on a protagonist.

And I Ralph Roberts.

Oh, I like him very much. I'm just not sure of my vote yet. WHO?!?!?!

I like Johnny just fine, but getting my vote instead of Roland? I think not.

Bears love them both! They couldn't vote for them, and The Losers, and Stu, and Roland, the format of the poll didn't let them.

I vote Rose Daniels. She had a lot of courage to leave her crazy husband!
YOU GO GIRL!

Ralph is cool, too. Gah!
Woofer

those stories are my favorites but the kids David and Seth are the real heroes in them, though marinville is pretty cool
