I hope he writes a really good ending. I really enjoyed the novel which was VERY long, and then I reached the last few pages that had an abrupt and rather unbelievable ending that could have taken place at anytime in the novel. The novel's ending did not work for me.
A weak third act is not uncommon in King's novels, alas.
