Advantages: Finally we can finish it, great finish

Disadvantages: few

A rather interesting idea. Right near the end King asks you not to read the ending!
He hates endings, and I often feel his endings are not great. So in this book he says, we came for the journey and not the ending!
In this case it is true. The journey is the important bit, not the ending. Don't rush through this book to get to the ending, relish every page.

PLOT
The crew is reunited and we finally meet 'the breakers' the people who have been working to destroy the beams holding the universe in place. Much of the book concerns the crew trying to stop them (with an appearance by Ted Brautigan from Hearts in Atlantis) the rest of the story follows the last mile, or rather more than one, on their long walk to the tower - oh of course to make it interesting they are being chased by something rather nasty!

SUMMARY
A good ending. The book was good and story great. Expect some sadness in the book, which contains a lot of death. I was a little disappointed with the end of the book, which is why I say, enjoy the journey and don't rush to the end!

Summary: read it now, it is a good end!
