Who is your favorite character?

[Utterpaj]

I love Cuthbert Allgood and Eddie Dean, mostly because they could be humourus in a serious moment. They're strong characters and made a big impression in me.

[Cowboy]

Roland. Of course.

Too many awesome characters to choose 1 favorite. But some I really dug:
Becka Paulson, quiet, angry, repressed little old woman who gets completely f*cked over by the Tommyknockers, she thought she was so clever and then ZAP!
Paul Sheldon, I can't remember the last time I was rootin' for a fictional character so hard.
Chef from UtD, how can you not love a paranoid, armed-to-the-teeth redneck all hopped up on meth?
The list goes on and on...

[Connie Reader]

Bev Marsh. I understood her, I'd been in her shoes. She was the character that I identified with more than any other in SK's books.

Oy. Quiet (mostly) little hero.

Collie Entragian in Desperation, who I choose not because I like him-- and despite his relative mortality, he doesn't last very long --but because fear of being abused by authority is a universal theme, a them augmented in Entragian's case because he was possessed by an evil alien authority .

I come from the late 60s; in other words, I still feel the fear of abuse from corrupt cops and a corrupt system, by people in authority who might as well be possessed by evil aliens.

Collie Entragian is a truly scary and real character who hits home for me.

[Ben E Gas]

Wolf - from talisman. Hands down, he's my favorite.

[muskrat]

Gotta go with 'Fast Eddie' Dean. I probably identify with him more than any other King character. I, too, am a wiseass and former smackhead. I was never as bad as Eddie, though...nor am I gunslinger material. Eyes too bad, can't hit the broadside of a barn with a blunderbuss.

[Manxkitti]

Rose Daniels. Because she's a survivor.
