"Were any of you actually reading??"
Overall, I enjoyed the book. Not the best one i've ever read, but entertaining nonetheless. I noticed quite a few people comlain about the ending (or lack thereof) and I just keep asking myself this: "Did any of you pay attention to anything the book said!?!" Sure, being used to the nice, tidy packages that we are used to having our stories handed to us in, I was kind of expecting a last-minute "guess what, here's the answer to all your questions." But I was actually glad when it didn't come. I mean, that would have been like King saying, "well forget every point I've tried to make this whole book, here's what you want to hear." This book actually got me thinking. It made me reflect on how we rarely get to understand everything that we want to, and sometimes that's for the best. It gives us the chance to expand our minds and excercize our wonderful cognative potential. I for one was glad King didn't spoon feed me the answer, but left the rest of the story up to me. It's a brave thing to do when everyone is a critic, but I say Bravo, Stephen King, Bravo!
