In effetti non ci sono spoiler ma solo sensazioni, e' una recensione
politically correct... e non e' mia, ma di un certo Quint!
Io l'ho letta e non me ne sono pentito :-)

He avoids spoilers well.
Here's his comment on the ending, which is spoiler free, and
pretty much confirms what I predicted about King pulling a
bullshit ending. (he provides no details, and I blacked out
a phrase that might be a spoiler. Quint puts a good face on
his disappointment, but he is disappointed.
"That brings us to the Tower itself. The reveal is perfect. I won't say
anymore than that, but I would like to touch on the ending a bit, without
getting specific enough to spoil anything, of course. About 10 pages from
the end, King actually stops as the writer and suggests to the reader that
we may not want to read any further because we might not like what we see.
In many ways I wish I had taken his advice because what is found in the
Tower is... well, let's just say that it almost makes you ask if it was
worth the ***** and the crazy emotional roller-coaster ride we've been
on.
That's not to say the ending's a cop-out. It most certainly isn't. King
makes a point in the Author's Note that he fully expects the fan reaction
to be a little peeved, but he asks us to consider that the story was more
about the journey than the destination and also that he himself didn't
100% like the ending, but it was the only one that "fit". While I'm not so
sure about all of that, I do agree that the ending fits and you may even
be able to predict it by really taking into consideration one of Roland's
favorite sayings. So, while not a cop-out, the ending will piss off some
of the fans. There is a lot to consider about the final 1 or 2 pages,
though. So look closely. More than that I can not say without giving
something major away.
I'm not sure what else I can say besides that I love, with all my heart,
most of this book and besides some serious pacing issues I have with the
final third of the book it's one of the best in the series. I could even
accept the ending a little more if there was really a huge build to the
conclusion. It didn't need a Pelennor Fields, but it did need that little
something, that oomph or moment of hopelessness before Mordor is destroyed
or, in the case, the Tower is gained, to really make the series pay off.
All in all, this is a damn good, but not perfect, conclusion to one of my
favorite series ever written. The greatness of the book only adds to my
enjoyment of the series as a whole and the disappointments in no way take
away from what came before, which in and of itself is a small miracle in
this age of disappointing additions to beloved series."

 Io l'ho letta e non me ne sono pentito :-)
E meno male che non ci sono spoilers....!!!
:-)))
Io, conoscendo quelli di questo Ng da ormai un po', sconsiglio caldamente di
addentrarsi nella lettura della recensione a chi conosce l'inglese ed odia
gli spoiler (cioe' quasi tutti, credo).........
....................nel Ng intern da te citato, nel post subito sotto la
recensione , c'e' un'inc***atissima e divertente risposta proprio al fatto
che la si puo' leggere anche se si vuole evitare gli spoiler......
