It seemed as if there was a massive change of direction by Wells in WoW (War of the Worlds, not World of Warcraft), and that disease seemed an odd way to end things. I'm with Martian in that I was rooting for the invaders.
I worry about what level of creative control authors are allowed to have in their works. And then you look at works by greats like Dickens, as Martian said above, and you think, "What would his unaltered works have been like?". Had Pip Lost Estella (which is brilliant), it would have given the whole story a different flavor. It would have been more like the end of Tale of Two Cities.
Now that I think of it, there are a few novels that I'd like to see better endings for, like To Kill a Mockingbird or Lord of the Flies. If all those kids died, I would have actually been a bit more satisfied that I just read something that wasn't coddling me in the end.
