Okay, first, I never write in these things - but I'm willing to pop my cherry on this one. Not since reading my first S. King novel at the tender age of 13 ('Salem's Lot) have I ever cried during the reading. I have read, literally, everything Mr. King has written with the exception of the Dark Tower series. Someone gave me #7 for Christmas (well, thanks) and so, I began the journey back at #1 - for to do otherwise is sacrilege. Spoiler alert: 'bout to discuss #7: do not read below this line if you like surprises......
First my throat aches and I have to remove the glasses (on the green side of 50 now) when Eddie dies (and I finally accept it saying "say it ain't so King"). Tears spilling over upon reading Susannah's words. But then Jake? Curse you and horse you rode in on! Full fledge crying, snot and everything. Jake?! I'm not going to stop reading - because you're like Eddie's heroin to this Constant Reader....but as I have said at times to my husband in our 28 year marriage, "Oh, I see you want to be alone". Trust me, not good.
