I guess I was a little depressed too, but I think I kind of felt it had to be this way to explain some of the time travel consequences. It was interesting to me that even though there was a "re-set", as explained in the book it wasn't complete. Sadie still had memories of Jake.
I guess they could of ended up together some way, but isn't it great how a good story can make you FEEL so much. I think that is the beauty in this. I'm with you all the way!
The ending of this book did make me cry (and I am not a crying woman!)--but I felt wonderful at the end of the book. I thought the ending was handled absolutely perfectly. I was a bit melancholy that Jake and Sadie did not end up together but I also knew that that couldn't happen. I do know what you mean by caring a lot about these characters. I did too--I always do with SK's characters, as he develops them so masterfully--but these in particular spoke to me. :cool:
This made me laugh out loud; but it might not be a bad idea!Quote:

As for the idea of Jake and Sadie meeting on another level of the Tower, not to sure this is the right place for that discussion, and I don't know how feasible such a thing is. However, I can offer the next best thing. A littl feel good shot in the arm, courtesy of the Overlook Hotel.
Think of it as another level of the Tower if you like.

I took this more as a romance novel
really, gntlgnt...why not a return to real horror !
That fake cover for Misery's Return remains one of the best things I've ever seen. If someone sold a wall-size version of it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Haha, oh boy, am I disappointed Steve didn't win THAT award. Glad to see he was a contender, though! :y:Quote:

Ya know I luv ya Steve, but the sex thang just doesn't work for me, it really does make me cringe. Even though it's "characters" doing the dirty deed I always picture SK writing it and feeling embarrassed himself. Strange huh? Guess it's kinda like watching your dad dance at a party...just say no, dude, there ain't ever going to be a good outcome to that scenario! Y'all remember how horrified I was at the Dunno what that says about me?!
