I've never felt so conflicted by an ending. On one hand, the bittersweet reunion at the end and how he handled the Jake/Sadie thing was really wonderful. I cried listening to the audiobook.
But I don't like the post apocalyptic 2011. I take no issue with things going to hell but I thought it was a bit of a cop out to throw the multiverse thing in there and have 2011 turn to crap because of unrealistic things that wouldn't have happened if JFK really survived. I wish SK had thought of a way to force Jake to reset the clock without also getting Sadie that was more in line with a true alternate history.
Which frustrates me because the ending with Sadie was masterful.
