Favourite Character?

I loved Ollie, his story made me cry and made me and pull for him to make it so hard.

Ollie and Big Jim were my faves. I wonder who will portray Ollie in the TV series.

I like Julia Shumway, because she, IMO, is the wise-ass character of this book. In many Sai King novels, there is always a "wise-ass" character. In the Dark Tower it was Eddie Dean. In It, it was Ritchie Tozier. In The Stand it was Larry Underwood. The Long Walk's wise-ass contestant I suppose might have been Barkovitch. But yeah, I love the wise-assery of Julia, and her wit. Her dialouge, esp with Col. Cox is great. It reminded me of Eddie and Roland. A wise ass cracking wit with someone with no sense of humor whatsoever.

I developed quite an attachment to Sammy Bushey and Little Walter.

What a great little storyline that was. Very powerful.

Absolutely, positively has to be Barbie, not because he's an out-front hero - Rusty, Piper & Julia - are heroes.
But because SK has written him as a hotty (I'm so ashamed).

& Joe McClatchey & his crew are a great advert for adolescents.

If only AMC (as in The Walking Dead)had turned it into a series, complete with a (mostly) 'who's that?' cast. . .
