[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 2877423, member: 1013"] I didn't mind the ending showing the Wheel of Ka keeps turning and Roland has to restart the journey, and get it "right". No problems. I thought the death of Eddie was good, Jakes less so. Suzannah just bailing out like that was weak, I pretty much lost the respect I had for the character at that point. She is within range of the Tower and instead of going on and seeing thier quest through, if only to honor the sacrifices of Eddie & Jake, she bails out due to a dream. Then the fantasy world she goes into was a lame cop out. The Crimson King was a joke. Walter/Flagg/Farson/Marten dies like a punk. Overall I was happy until the last 200 pages or so. Patrick was a cheap plot device becuase I don't think King had any real idea on how to end the series, I think he just wanted to end it regardless of his lack of a good ending. So he threw some crap together and called it a series. Books 1-6 were amazing, Book 7 started strong then totally fell apart. I still love the series, but the ending leaves a taint. [/QUOTE]
