    I'm guessing my favourite character isnt that hard to guess due to my username ahahaha

    But some of my others are Stu Redman, Clay Riddel, Tom (From Cell, I've read it twice, yet I can't remember his last name), I'm in the process of reading Needful Things for the first time but I am enjoying Alan Pangborn, The Chef from Under the Dome and Mike Hanlon and the IT crew.

    Flagg - Flagg is far and away the PERFECT villain. He's downright, inarguably evil and yet he's somehow charming and likable. He's not the devil (literally) but he is a perfect stand-in for that bit of witicism about the devil being attractive. and it's precisely because he's my favorite character that his demise in DT7 infuriates me. Mordred is a one-time-use, throw-away character (i actually quite honestly LOVE everything else the character does), but if Flagg was going to go down, I would much rather have had it happen at the hands of The White.

    I'm also very big on any character that has caused a distinct emotional reaction from me, whether it be hilarity, rage, pity, or sorrow. Some of these include:
    Roland, Eddie, Jake, Oy, Tom Cullen, Nick Andros, Big Steve/Kojak, Glen Bateman, Johnny Smith, Cujo, Barlow, Gage, Church, Jack Sawyer, John Coffey, Trisha McFarland, Margaret White, Harold Lauder, The Thunder Five (especially Beezer), Duddits, Alice (from Cell), Edgar Freemantle, Blaze

    My favorites I'd say would be Ralph Roberts, Wolf, Jack Sawyer, Roland, Randall Flagg, Edgar Freemantle, Jake Chambers, Jud Crandall, and Pennywise. Those are just the ones off the top of my head. I'm thinking if I really thought through all the books, my list would be quite long.

    oh how to answer THIS one!?! I just dont know really! I really liked Ralph Roberts, but also poor Jake Chambers and sweet Duddits, but I also liked Edgar Freemantle and Lisey...I didnt care for Frannie Goldsmith. she was so immature (ofcourse!), but I felt she was self centered and I hate that in a person. lets see travelin Jack & heroic Wolf...I also liked Larry-altho he was 'not a nice guy'. (He tried to be, but he was what he was. a self servibg son of a @#$%^. so why did I list him? only reason I can think of is that he was making an effort to do the right thing....(?) idk. I see nobodys mentioning Callahan....hmm

    It is hard to choose just a few to list. So many of the secondary characters I really enjoyed 'meeting' but don't remember their name. The main folks are probably Stu Redman, and Tommy, Nick and Glen Bateman. I didn't care for Larry Underwood alone, but once he met the others.. Stu and Glen and Ralph, he became a good man. I cried so hard over Henry Leyden (what a totally cool cat) and Jack and my beloved Wolf (right here and now) Ralph and Lois, baby Natalie. Ben and Bev, Mike. Oh.. Beaver.. Richie, Bill. Mattie and Kia, again, the tears.. I enjoyed Gert.. she would have been a hoot to know in person. Alan Pangborn. Edgar and Wireman.. oh Wireman.. I think I was a bit 'in love'. Never had that happen to me before, but he was such a "real" character.

    I can't swear it won't change tomorrow, but today my favorite character is John Coffey.

    If I could choose only one it would definitely be Susannah Dean, she's in my top three favorite characters of all time and not only from King's books. Besides, I love Detta.

    Loved Nettie Cobb (bless her with her carnival glass)

    Roland's the only hero (anti hero???) for me- lol
