That was great stuff.
I also loved the part where they arrested the boys. I think that moment was very significant in Rolands life

WaG was one of my favourites from the series so I have a lot of favourite bits-one of them being the showdown at the end, also many of the Cuthbert moments like when he firsty introduces the big coffin hunters with his catapult and his "lookout" I also like the beginning of the book were blaine gets owned
'He bowed low, right down to the ground, in front of the man sitting there motionless, whose smile reminded him of everything that he had ever loved in his life, of everything that had ever been of value and holy in his life.' Herman Hesse
my favourite part is when Cuthbert enters the saloon and makes a show off. I thought that was really awesome, plus I had liked him since book 1 and wanted to see more of Roland's first ka-tet.
I totally agree, that scene was really the first time that I understood the Gunslingers (as a whole) were seriously not to be screwed with.
Their kids are as hard as it gets.

Cuthbert's probably my favorite character of the whole series and as far as I'm concerned there wasn't nearly enough of him. Regardless, many of his scenes are among my favorites. The first showdown between the boys and the Coffin Hunters is obviously classic. They were all so chillingly cool and confident. I also really enjoyed when Cuthbert punched Roland in the face. I have never been a big fan of Susan and Cuthbert was right about Roland's careless behavior with her. Even gunslingers need a punch in the face sometimes.
My favorite part was the showdown at the end. The passage when Jonas describes Roland as the best he's ever seen was very powerful. Also the imagery of the forgotten Citgo pumps adjacent to this rural Mexican like barony are haunting to me. Their juxtaposition sounds a loud warning in regards to the dangers of industrialization. I really empathized with Susan's "spooky" feelings. Its so easy for me to visualize them in my head.
Also, I'm now a goldmember thanks to the awesomeness of Hannah.
I like the second half of the Mejis storyline. Lots of great moments, particularly with Rhea's detoriation and the climax.

My favorite part has to be the stand-off at the bar. It made me realize how smooth the "Little Coffin Hunters" were. So badass.
And although I'm not a sappy- romantic, the first "real" kiss between Roland and Susan still knots my stomach. It was the sexiest kiss ever put on paper.
Those are high on the list for me too girly--I think there is a thread around here about "their love" and I believe a kiss like that makes it true.

There is only one thing I don't like in WaG and that's the kiss. I don't really know why. The blood was too much for me. I have read it 3 times and I always hope that it won't seem to be so unreal to me anymore but it does.
Anyway.
I love the part very Shemmie descovers how good it is to use dirty words and he repeats them again and again. He is so... lovable.
Roland would have understood.
Thats funny, because the blood is what made it "interesting" to me. The fact that their passion was so strong, and neither of them held back at all. They were so caught up in the sweetness of the kiss, that neither of them noticed the pain ( which is so close to love anyway). I'd love to have kisses like this (at least once).
- All parts with Cuthbert.
- All parts without Susan.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
