I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

I was originally disappointed by the ending as well. But the more I thought about it, the more I came the conclusion that it's the only ending that works. Anything more... definite would've been a much bigger letdown, I'm sure. And besides... he now has the Horn!

I do agree. I still think the last few books aren't as strong as the first 4 which are fucking awesome but like you say the more I thought about it the more I like it.

It has been a couple of years and I think I will go through all the books again sometime within the next year and I am confident that my third go around will be even better again. I would genuinely enjoy reading how the horn would change things!
