Your thoughts were pretty coherent to me! LOL.
Just as a personal opinion-I love Stephen Kings sense of realism in his characters-they are what anchor his stories in some pretty messed up situations, to resolve his tales with and so and so lived happily ever after... just wouldn't cut it. I can live with a bit of mystery-I like the feeling I have dropped in to witness a fantastic/horrific/bizarre chapter of these characters lives, and am quite happy to leave them to it once they deal with the situation at hand-in whatever manner they deem fit. (Well okay perhaps not 100% of the time but hey, he ain't perfect!) Their choices are flawed because they are flawed-therefore a ribbon wrapped ending would jar.
Looking forward to reading the rest.
