Seconded. It was ridiculous for the guy to go from an out of control criminal to the perfect domesticated daddy. It also cheapened his previous actions and what he did to his victims. Really bad ending.

Another bad ending would be China Mieville's Perdido Street Station. I don't want to spoil, but everyone I know who finished it did a facepalm. Apparently that's true for all of Mieville's novels. It's so disappointing because the rest of the book is so good!
