I had to go with Dark Tower #1. I'll respect the spoilers and not say what it was. Go up and find out.

[razz]

came down to Talisman, It, Dark Tower#2, and Duma Key

[Heather19]

It, that part of the story always makes me extremely sad.

[SigTauGimp]

The Dark Tower #1.
Still gets me to this day.

[candy]

i had not realised how many sk books i have cried over till i read the spoilers, but for big old sobs it has to be dt1

[Woofer]

Duma Key is the only one I haven't read yet, but I'll get to it soon.

This was a very difficult decision. Every moment listed here had a profound impact on me. I think that I'll stay with my nomination.

The very fact that Peter is "only" an animal, as opposed to Oy and Wolf who are quite obviously more than that (to differing degrees and in differing ways), makes his fate much more horrible. He did not understand. There was only fear and confusion and sorrow - and an endless hell of it for a creature that lives almost entirely in the moment.

[sarajean]

sigh. the talisman. i cry big ole baby tears every time.
