Dark Tower Series
Mister Rand McNally:
I would honestly encourage anyone reading this series to stop reading at the fourth book and make up your own ending, at least if you wish to continue reading Stephen King novels in the future. If you are comfortable with losing all respect for the man and never picking up a book of his in the future, then you should read on.
I guess I took the fifth, sixth, and seventh books personally as I'd been reading them for years before the fourth book came out. Anyone familiar with the most current books will hopefully understand my frustrations.

uh oh, now I'm getting scared to read the rest of the series...
Alarra:
While the ending originally bothered me, having read through the books again, I'm now not sure. It's really rather interesting and unique and....well I just don't know. I still have great respect for the series....
and I'm talking the real ending, not the one he says is the ending....because really, who can stop reading a book that still has a great number of pages left just because the author says to? Why add more if you don't want it read?
lordjim:
Good series, I enjoyed them all. Though the trick that King uses in books 5-7 really annoys me.
Jedit:

Which is why Terry Pratchett used it in one of his novels fifteen years earlier, of course.
I found the last two books of DT to be a horrific slog, but when I got to the end of Book 7 I was truly pissed off. The seven volumes went straight to the nearest charity store, because I'll be fucked up the ass with a rusty chainsaw before I read that kind of crap twice.
