Tbf King canโ€™t write endings worth a damn a lot of the time also.

At least he finally finished Dark Tower. May not have been a great ending, and it took forever, but at least he did it. :)

Maybe not, but does he finish them? Yes.

But I always wondered what "can't write endings" thing is about. What's the issue? Do people think the ending is too open for interpretation? Rushed? Not what they wanted it to be?

Yeah I (sorry) don't care for Stephen King, but I didn't hate Duma Key... except for the end as well.

It was like oh yeah that character you like? I forgot about him .... Uh he died off page randomly.

King openly admitted that The Mist movie handled the ending better ๐Ÿ˜‚.
