The ending of Cell

[Showtimecircus]

I found the ending brilliant. In my mind i felt the ending was decided by the reader, they chose in their minds what happens to Johnny.

To my mind the ending is really great. It gives us an opportunity to think about the book and to develop our imagination.

I JUST finished this book about 20 minutes ago and loved it. I usually prefer endings that are tidy and wrapped up, but this one fit well with the story. As far as SK saying it worked out in the end, no offense to Uncle Stevie or this forum (I'm a Stephen King lover/fan/nut/addict/junkie/etc), but it wasn't in the book so I don't care what he said after the fact. I don't mean that in any kind of disrespectful way! It's just the book is the entirety of that story within it's covers and it doesn't have a sequel, so to me, it's completely up to me to decide what happens or doesn't happen. The last page is the last page, and I like that, depending on my mood and things going on in my life, when I think about it over time, I'll have different thoughts about what happened with Clay and his son, and his friends and the whole world.

I might get verbally "shot" for saying this, but if I had my wish, this story would be the next Torchwood mini series. Watch Torchwood: Children of Earth and tell me this wouldn't be AMAZING.

Now I've got to get a new Stephen King book to read (I read this one about a week faster than I thought I would, I sat and read the last 1/3 all night last night and this morning because I just couldn't put it down!!!) Thanks for another exciting amazing escape from my dull life Mr. King!

The ending reminded me of how the Sopranos ended. It just felt like it stopped.... Geekgirl - Try "Under The Dome". I enjoyed it...

Hi,

Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

I LOVE your Torchwood idea!

Long days and pleasant nights

I have to admit I would like to see a follow-up to this novel, a short story perhaps <gasp>, covering the days after the reboot to Bobby "G". The character was never fully developed, but while reading the book I started to care for this kid who never got a chance to fully come alive in the novel.

Yeah, sure gov-ner...but if any posts come up wanting in the political column...?

I wish you wouldn't have told me how it really ended Mr. Mod. Takes out some of the enjoyment I had of the book. Being a pessimist I have a natural born suspicion and at times dislike of "perfectly organized" happy endings. I refer Hoping that it all ended well, not knowing.

You wandered in here thinking a thread titled "The Ending of Cell" wouldn't have spoilers or something that might run afoul of how YOU want things to be? REALLY? Get over yourself, and BTW-how, as member with over 800 posts-don't you know that our Moderator is a lovely lady...MS> Mod....?

I wish Stevie told us something more about Rafer =^o^=
I love to think Tom has found him again safe and sound.

I just finished this book yesterday and I must say that I liked the ending. If you've read any number of Uncle Stevie's books you must know that for him, it's usually the journey and not the ending that is most important. He does leave it to his constant reader to think past the last page; he trusts that we are indeed able to come to our own conclusions. I love that about him!

Thankee-sai.
