"Groundhog Day" was good and all, but I liked it much better when it starred Bill Murray. Roland doesn't have quite the same comedic timing.
But you understand why he wrote the coda. I think readers would have been pissed had they waited years and years for Roland to enter the tower and then never got to see what was inside...
