My least favorite book of the series

...in the first I disagreed with your previous statement about Roland saving Jake in Lud making up for letting him drop;

Ok, what I meant was it made up for it to me, not necessarily to any other reader, and especially not necessarily to Jake. Personally, I see the score as even there, one drop, one save. I don't know that I didn't expect Roland to "betray" him or someone else again before the end, but I forgave the drop after the rescue. Make sense?

the second hinted at the irrelevance of that question to the topic of the thread

Agreed.

it does. Though, come to think of it, on emotional level I though he would never drop him again immediately after that first time; all other instances only helped the feeling grow.

i agree again Jean.
