Cell

[wednes]

I do not like the way Stephen King ends many of his novels.

By "many novels" I mean any novel except the following:

Carrie
Salem's Lot
The Shining
Cujo
Dead Zone
Pet Sematary
Thinner
Misery
Delores Claiborne
Needful Things
The Green Mile
The Long Walk (I'm on the fence about this one)

I don't think I'm leaving any out, honest. So many of his novels have endings that make me just fucking cringe.
I understand that in the end of Cell, you're damned if you go one way, and double damned the other, but still, not really telling you what happens is just Grrr...

Sometimes I feel safer with a handful of short stories. Now where did I leave Night Shift?

I love Stevie, but the ending of Cell pissed me off beyond belief. When you said you were reading it, I started to say something, but decided to wait and see if maybe it was just me. :P

It's also very misleading, because there's a segment of his new book in the back, so you think there's at least one more chapter. And yeah, it was a total cop-out. The more I think about it, the madder I get.
