You are not alone Letti dear. I have re-read several times and I cannot forgive Susannah either.

Interesting perspective. I pretty much agree. :)

Yes... but his death was... beautiful somehow. I know it sounds stupid but still. It was full of relief. He found his way home.[/QUOTE]
I don't know that it sounds stupid. It sure was a superb...

i cried for the Pere as well, i just ultimately cried for jake, oy and eddie more. i knew them better. i did find the pere's redemption and final stand very well written. he died serving the White,...

i agree jean. oy was much more than a pet. he was a gunslinger without any guns, and one that saved roland's life at that. oy went with roland bc he was ka-tet with roland. it was a conscious choice....

aurora, well said, though i do think roland realized oy's place in the tet prior to his final stand. "oy, eld, thankee" is my fav scene of the series, but i think it shows that at least as far back...

i read dt-7 before my wife who was still reading dt-6 when i started it. she came home one day while i was reading about jake and she could see i was upset and had been crying. she then saw the book...

and standing as he did against Mordred was prob the bravest of the deaths

right up there for me too. poor little brave guy!

i was exactly the opposite. eddie i was able to take though i was sad for susannah. with jake, i cried like a baby. seeing it coming did little to stop me from bawling.

you are alone in the least WalterO'Dim. there are many threads you may enjoy about that very subject. it comes up a lot bc a lot of us feel that walter got cheated of a more fitting end.

For me, it was Oy. It wasn't that I didn't expect Oy to die. By that point, so many others had that I wasn't surprised when Oy did, but he died acting so bravely that it just broke my heart. Oy was...

You'd have to be a robot not to cry during the chapters on Jake's death, particularly the reaction of Oy.
