Nah, I respected it. The first time I read through it, I wasn't into it. But...not that I've had a few years perspective on it, I wouldn't of had any of it any other way.

i hate that answer "it couldn't have ended any other way". without having it end "another way" there is no way any of you can say that; THAT is also a bogus cop-out defense.
the thing I REALLY disliked was the way he talked down to us readers at the end. To do that crap with Suz, Eddie and Jake and then say "I only added this in because most of you would be stupid to accept the unfinality of Roland's ending" was the most sanctimonious peice of self-serving, and reader insulting crap I've ever been subjected too.
I mean, come on everyone, the ending was straight ripped off from Groundhog's Day for fucks sake...

so did i, and it's a crying shame when it seems Groundhog's Day wrapped itself up better than the Dark Tower series.

I thought the whole series was great and the ending tied perfectly into it.
