I was thinking that you were thinking of one of the gunslingers, or maybe even Oy. Jake died in book six, didn't he? Oy made me sad. 

Nope, Jake dies in Book 7 when he rescues King from Brian Smith's oncoming car. I actually thought his and Eddie's deaths worked fairly well.
I just finished Stephen King's Wizard and Glass

Charyou Tree gave me the same reaction. I only wish all six other books were as good. *NM*

The last book has gotten more mixed reviews than just about any other book I know.

IIRC, he's said he wishes he hadn't written it, or something similar. *NM*

That's silly. It's entirely decent. He might as well regret Wolves of the Calla *NM*
