    Default Citizen of the Century

    I was just wondering if anyone feels the book might have had a stronger ending if "Final Notes" or "Citizen of the Century" had
    been omitted?

    I loved the ending, but I also feel that perhaps he could have left things completely unanswered, and it might have been a
    stronger choice.

    Yes or no?

    So...no. Probably because I don't like sidewalk superintendents surveying my job site, something I realize comes naturally to people. But then the customer is always right even when they are wrong...so, yes.

    I did love it, its probably one of the best books I've ever read.

    I still have things about it that I enjoy discussing...

    My point here is that it felt like 3 different endings, rather then 1 complete ending.

    I feel that "Final Notes" was probably a good place to stop, the word "final" being
    the key word here.

    Perhaps Stephen King intended to stop the story here, or even at Chapter 31.

    Citizen of the Century feels like it was perhaps added later.

    I agree. They actually cap the book very well.
