[muskrat]

Anyone else get taken by surprise by Alice's abrupt and unexpected death? Being a lifelong constant reader, I shoulda seen it comin' I spose...but that's why King's the man. He knows how to sneak up on ya and toss a chunk of cinderblock upside yer eggcase...

She was my favorite character up to that point and then WHAM! Outta nowhere, man.

I both love it and hate it when he does that...

It does seem like a surprise, and a very unfortunate one at that. I was hoping she'd survive the book. And she 'went out' in a very gruesome way too...

I agree very gruesome! I was expecting her to die for the simple reason that I loved her character so much. Hmmm, seems to work that way in a lot of SK's works!

I usually dont get sad by movies or books but this part when Alice died was sad. I was also surprised when she died. How gruesome can that get? Getting hit in the head with a cinder block by some jerks. That must suck for her!

I nearly cried. I LOVED Alice - my sister is 15 so I kinda poured that into her as a character...
