...while others think he got exactly what he deserved and his death was predefined by his existence...
::giggles::
but, of course, as Jayson said, it's for those other threads...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah....I think there are about a dozen of them, unfortunately.
I actually think there are way too many...all talking about basically the same thing. Some are more about self promotion rather than the character...that is unfortunate.
we're working on it...

Eddies and Jake's death were both hard for me. But I voted for Jake's as I thought his potential as a person and a gunslinger wasn't now going to be realized.
You know, Jake's death was only difficult for me because I felt for Roland. I surprisingly felt little regarding the fact that Jake was actually gone.
Maybe I was just wiped out after the emotional sob-fest that was Eddie's death.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
From Eddie's til Oy's...it was nonstop crying.
Oh man I know. I think I had poufy eyes for days after. I've never cried more in a book or movie than I did in DT7.

Oy's was the hardest for me.

He had my vote
and standing as he did against Mordred was prob the bravest of the deathsI know! Sweet little Oy.
I'm in a reading slump. I just can't seem to finish reading DT7. I think I realized that I'm not excited to go back because Eddie is about to die. Eddie the first of The Gunslingers new Ka-Tet. Eddie the first person to come through the door and save Roland's life. Eddie the quick talking junkie who became a gunslinger is about to die and I know it. *sigh*
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

You're strong. You can do it.

Jake, for me. I honestly didn't see it coming until right before it happened. I had to put down the book for a few minutes because I was crying that much, and I still had tears coming out all through the death and the burial. I hated it.
Reading DT7 the first time was the most emotionally traumetizing, yet utterly wonderful, mind-blowing, reading experience I've ever had and probably will have.

As I was reading DT7 one of my friends called me and when I answered the phone I couldn't speak but cry. He was very worried because the way I cried (I couldn't stop it) he thought some serious tragedy had happened around me.
Roland would have understood.
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 in my hand and knew not to ask why i was crying. when she read that part she knew. i've said it before, jake is my fav of all king characters and his death felt the most like losing somebody i knew.
You did know him, R o G.
Roland would have understood.
Great story buddy! I read the last book mostly in the bedroom, away from my wife. I'm not sure if I knew it would be a hard one for me or not but I knew I couldn't read it in the living room with her there. She doesn't know all the friends I've made in that series. I cried silently alone in the bedroom. I knew if she came upon me in that state it would have scared and worried her. It was one big hit after another...Eddie, Jake, then Oy.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 in my hand and knew not to ask why i was crying. when she read that part she knew. i've said it before, jake is my fav of all king characters and his death felt the most like losing somebody i knew.
I still get very emotional...though the last two times I "read" the books were in audio form. Getting choked up on my drive to work is not the greatest thing I've ever done.
