I wish it didn't end the way it did

sealing the entrance to Empis

, but I did quite enjoy listening to this book. The chapters when Charlie

is in prison,

tend to drag on a bit. The climax builds and builds, leading the reader/listener to look forward to

the battle with Gogmagog, which was a huge let down. Seriously, saying his name to defeat him???

This is my first Stephen King novel, and I totally agree with the stereotype of kinda not so great endings. Well written though, and hey nos I've read a King novel.
