I was just wondering if anyone else shed a tear or two when...I had never cried from a book before reading this last year, and I still remember that ending, and my reaction to it. Due a re-read soon I think!Jake ducked out of the way of Oswald's bullet and Saddie got shot, and then her final dying words - "How we danced!" It really got to me, I think primarily because of the relationship the two had, and the plans they had for once they had stopped Oswald. I even cried when they done that school play... Moving stuff.
Aw, yah big sissy ya!Teared up a little.I was really emotional in a few other books. Pet Sematary: the death of Norma Crandall and Gage's funeral. The Stand: death of Nick Andros and the Christmas Tom Cullen and Stu spend snowed in. Lisey's Story: a few spots. Hearts in Atlantis: first two novellas. I can't help it, like King, I'm sentimental.
Aw, yah big sissy ya!
(Just kidding)
Joyland was quite sentimental, too.
