| Just finished Desperation. Thought it was the best King book yet . I dont understand how you can just blow Tak up though. I thought the part where Tak (in hawk form) killed ralph was a bit weak though... How did Johnny marinville die? and I don't understand how he can be in the land of the dead when hes alive |

| Registered User | Re: Desperation *Spoiler* Right, it's been quite some time since I read this book, but from what I can remember, they didn't intend to kill Tak by blowing it up. The explosion was to seal it back into the pit from whence it first came. It had been trapped in there previously, but another explosive in the mine shaft had unsealed it and released Tak. Johnny dies by staying behind to set off the dynamite. I recall that this was quite a big deal because throughout he had been the sarcastic, cynical and difficult one but now was sacrificing himself to get rid of Tak. I was quite sad at his doing so, he was my favourite character in the book, I believe. |
