I use the errors just as an example.I mean some of the people here are seemingly well able to criticize a man who has sold hundreds of millions of his books and yet some simple minded people here are perfectly capable of saying his ending wasn't satisfactory when yet,ha-ha, their own literacy isn't even correct.So I think it's a little unfair to a person who-speaking in literary terms, is probably one of the closest things we have to a god-is being criticized by people who can't spell correctly.It's just severely unfair and annoying.The ending was fabulous.If you were a true fan and not just a person trying to sap the slightest bit of selfish grandeur from the situation then you'd be perfectly okay to say whatever it is you feel.But no I think it's just a tad degrading to the man is all.And I'm not launching a personal vendetta against people here-Hoopy,for instance,I respect totally because he can actually write things coherently-and so I'm replying accordingly to his own reply simply because he deserves one.And that is like The Dark Tower series,in that it deserved an ending,and by god we got one, so please(people that are just unnecessary, in critical terms),save the pointless comments.
But as for the books, some things were a little confusing.If King hadn't of gotten knocked down by that van, then a lot of the things in the concluding books could have been different.Like all those nineteens popping up all over the place.So if you think about that situation for just a second, you realize that if that hadn't of happened, then there would have been an alternate outcome to the books,or maybe not, but at least the whole nineteen thing wouldn't have been as excessive as it was,or maybe not there at all;and thus a totally different world in a sense,which is basically the whole idea of the last book(and included as a universal idea between the whole books.So no, the fact that the ending just created another world(where he did have the horn,people) wasn't an unfair one.As King said himself,it was the only ending there could have been.
