So, I finished the third book of the DT series recently and have the rest of the books on my shelf waiting to be read. I am caught in an epic state of annoyance because one person, one horribly mean unthinking person, decided to inform me that Randal Flagg dies at the end of this series. I don't know if it's true or not... but ever since this information has passed into my brain I am having trouble becoming as emersed. The reason being Randal Flagg is one of my all time favorite SK characters... and it's not the fact that he dies that pisses me off, no, because that's just how the story goes. I'm pissed off that I know he's going to die. With his appearance at the end of The Waste Lands, I nearly **** bricks just to see him once again, and I still feel that sense of grim fantasy while reading about him. However, I don't think I'm going to attain the height of fascination that I had while reading "The Stand" or to a lesser degree "The Eyes of the Dragon" and it's all because I know what's going to happen to him in the end. If he's doing some crazy **** and doing his crazy Walkin Dude thing then I won't be moved as powerfully because I know... how he ends up. I just feel so cheated out of my thrills. I don't really know what I'm asking out of anybody but really just trying to express my irritation of this specific part of the story being spoiled for me. Of course, I'll continue to read the stories all the way to the end but does anybody know how to not let this bother me?
(I've only read 1-3 so if you do respond then don't give any more away pretty please, cause that'd suck)
