The ending left me shellshocked because it was both disappointing (mostly in how the major plot points are resolved, not the actual telling of it) and left you with a feeling that you read 7 books just to see the main character left back at square one. Sorry but after so much reading and getting to know these characters, you want to see more of a resolution. It leaves far, far more questions than it answers, and it is very unlikely they will ever be answered since King has now washed his hands of the whole Dark Tower thing (which King goes out of his way to stress in the writer's note at the end).I'm still glad I read this series, because it really is amazing, and I agree that book 7 was a real page-turner, but the ending is a disaster. The way Walter is finished off ... really tarnishes his character and how powerful he was built up to be. The Crimson King ... don't even get me started. Pathetic, just pathetic. Big deal so he screams and throws Harry Potter weapons ... WHO CARES!? Give us something more memorable and dreadful than that.I will say though, the Dandelo part was good. It's just a shame that Dandelo turned out to be more of a threat than Walter and Mordred who King spent far, far more time fleshing out only to have them go out with almost no effort at all.Have you ever seen a series that went on for so long yet ended in such an unsatisfying way? What were you thinking, Mr. King?</blockquote>
