Still more Q&A

karabou asked for the Top five favorite Jake Chambers-centric moments in The Dark Tower series.

1. Jake's poem in The Waste Lands. "I still love him. That is the truth." *whimper* Extra points for his reaction to the teacher's comments.
2. Jake and Eddie's conversation as they leave River Crossing about why they can't stay and help the residents. It's such a small moment, but it says so much about both of them. I love Eddie for understanding, and I love Jake for not understanding, and I love the two of them together.
3. Jake asking permission to play with Benny Slightman in Wolves. It's such a heartbreaking moment.
4. Jake's last showdown with his parents. You tell 'em, kid!
5. And it must be listed: his death. The second one. Oh, God, it killed me, it killed me, and when the death of a fictional character hits me that hard...
