The ending of Cell

[Spideyman]

Stephen King has a message about the ending of cell on the main page of this site.

Regarding Cell...
CELL SPOILER: "Based on the information given in the final third of Cell—I’m thinking about the reversion back toward the norm of the later phone crazies—it seems pretty obvious to me that things turned out well for Clay’s son, Johnny. I don’t need to tell you this, do I?”

Not all of Kings books or short stories have endings and that is what i love about them. I find the harder you think about it the more you will appreciate the endings that he writes. He is not afraid to leave something up for your interpretation. I find it keeps my imagination going and makes me feel more involved in his stories. And if a movie is made for this book I hope they leave the ending the way it is. Just look at The Mist.. the story had an amazing ending and the movie just jacked it all up. Hollywood needs to leave a good thing alone sometimes.

I personally liked the ending. It ended with hope, like a previous member has said.

Agreed.
I'm a fan of cliffhanger type endings where I hit that last sentence and go 'what?!?!'. I end up spending hours if not days thinking about what might have happened next and wondering if others thought the same things.

the end was a bit ... abrupt indeed , i guess it gives you the opportunity to imagine the end in your own way , but the truth is that when i finished the book i had already loved the characters and i was so sad i had to stop reading it :/ I kinda missed them :P i always have that after S.K.'s books
