| Re: Ending of the Dark Tower Series It's amazing how many people are able to be negatively critical over King's conclusion to the series yet alot of those people are hardly able to post a comment without making twenty grammatical errors themselves, so please people, leave the man be.He's entertained some of you-if not many of you-for years on end and after he completes the finest work(probably) of his career, you lot go and tell him that he's let somebody down?No, he didn't leave anyone down really.The Tower books were his quest, nobody else's.It was his choice to do what he did with them.And anyway, he said at the end in his note that the stories helped him keep his sanity.Can anyone even question the man's honesty here?Ican't really understand how people feel they were cheated at all with an ending like that.You go through seven books which deal with the idea of parallel worlds continuously, and then finally when it turns out that he just has to go and repeat the quest in another universe again......AND OH DEAR LORD I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DID THAT?No, permission to feel like you were cheated is denied.Surprised?Maybe.I certainly was.But let down?Not a chance.I thought that was a great ending, although I thought there might have been something more said about the whole Crimson King ordeal.But I'll take it in any shape or form.Most of the bokks' readers should really do the same.And I have no idea if the last few comments before mine were supportive or critical of the series because I'm only writing this reply because I decided to read the first few comments and thought that the people who were complaining are really only being dramatic.So please, if you're going to criticize him like that, then go read some James Patterson or something. |
