The ending is controversial, not a let down. I thought it was fantastic, elegent, intelligent, poignant, and, well ... you get it. I loved it. This is coming from someone who got into Dark Tower a couple years into the gap between Books 3 and 4.
The last 3 books had me right in. One thing I noticed when I first read them was how different the writing style was - but then I remembered, it had been 7 years between book 4 and 5, and about 26 years between the initial draft of book 1 and book 5.
