If you've read the book, you'll understand my OP. The book doesn't have an ending. I hate that so much. King is horrible with endings. Makes reading his novels feel like such a huge waste of time.

Maybe you bought a defective edition. IIRC, the good guys blew up lots of zombies and escaped. The protagonist finds his son and starts to rehab him.

It wasn't a great story, but I thought King wrapped up sufficiently.

You get no explanation on what happened to the son or the other group of survivors. You get no explanation of the Pulse, what it was, who started it, etc.

I've watched 5 of the 8 King stories on TV recently and none of them had endings. They just stop with no resolution. I don't think I'll even watch the rest and I'm a King fan. :(

Battleground and Autopsy Room Four were the only ones that were really worth watching.

I know what you mean about ending, but thought it was a overall decent book for being such a quick read.

Man I was so disappointed when that girl died :(
