Did anyone NOT read the very end of The Dark Tower? [no spoilers please]

I stopped when he blew the horn and entered the tower.

My congratulations! You're a better man than I.

I quite enjoyed most of the series, although I wish the Crimson King had been more like that picture of him on his throne.

My favorite villains in the whole series were Blaine the Mono and the Tick-Tock Man.

Did King warn the reader in public or in the story itself? Years ago I read the first book but decided it wasn't for me. It got a bit too weird for me when Gunslinger pulled a boy out of a blade of grass or something.

It's in the story. There's a break between the almost-end and the end-end, and King says, "I think you should be satisfied with the ambiguity, but I know a lot of people will want to know for sure-sure what happened, so if you want it, here's what happens at the end."

Me, I'm pretty happy with having read the end. And I love the picture of Roland standing in the field of roses, with the Tower behind him. I'd dearly love to have an electronic version of that, but sadly, I can't find one...

I read the end-end and thought it was very, well, fitting. It wasn't what I thought it would be, but when I finished I thought it was well done and appropriate.

I loved the series as a whole. It's hard for me to pick out a favorite book. I really liked the "flashback" parts of Wizard and Glass, though.

I read it through entirely.

I second the disapointment with the handling of the main villains, and a few other elements.


I was entirely happy with the end-end either. I would have liked a more complete explanation...without one, to me, if renders everything that happened up to that point largely pointless.

I made it through 1/4 of the last book, and then gave up on it.

I read the very end, end end what every you call it (the part he tells you don't read if you don't want to). I liked that part. I didn't like the 'end' before that. With out any spoilers though I can't really talk about it at all.
