I never liked the very ending of The Dark Tower, by Stephen King. You could see it coming a mile off, picking such a near-clichéd idea for finale, and, for me, it felt like he caved to the openness of his created universe (that is, that he consciously left room to always create a synecdoche of the series in new books).
(It should be noted in my criticisms, that I say "felt like" with the implicit notation of misjudgement on my part - I liked this series very much, and happily recommend it to people. I respect the abilities of this author such that what I "feel" about his motivations and decisions has as much relevance or applicability to his brilliant storytelling as a grain of dust to a hurricane. I'm always conscious of the vast distance between his writing ability and my own. The man can write!).
Cheers,
Marc
