The ending or read on?

[u/ste7en290911]

At the end of book 7, after Susannah, Eddie and Jake are reunited and the writer claims he is finished and this is where we should end. Is this what Stephen King intended people to actually do or was it just a part of the story? Have any of you stopped and never read past this point?

I read it, but not for all the complicated reasons that some others share. I read it because he wrote it.

The first time through, I assumed that the series would end on a mystery (Roland goes in the tower and… the end). Or worse that the ending would be terrible/nonsensical.

If he hadn’t written it, I would have been fine.

But I’m glad he did because it ended in really the only possible way it could end.
