I think that my "beef" makes 100% sense and, as previously stated it is not on whether they remember It itself, but the fact that they didn't remember each other. We will take your own advice and agree to disagree.

How's that a given when neither of us stops arguing pretty much the same points? I think that they were pawns. Either if they weren't, I think that it is unacceptable that this deity figure would deprive them of their memories and choices. That's obviously subjective, and you may like it all you want. But as long as we're asking questions, are Ben and Bev going to remember each other? If so, will they remember the others? Will there be a time, in a few days, when they're together and neither of them remember why? If so, how will they react to this (it's a little like Lois Lane not remembering having sex with Superman and yet knowing she had a child with him in Superman Returns, but in this case neither of them remember each other)?
As someone said in another thread Koontz is sort of a 'King Lite', like a light beer rather than the full alcohol beerOk AGP,I guess,we got it..you hate(or really dislike) the end,because they cannot remember each other through the years..perhaps,a saccharine sweet ending with everybody remembering everything and they will all remember each other to their deathbeds would have been better..and ben and bev will be sweethearts and bill and audra will love each other to the ends of the earth,forever and ever,amen..maybe they canand put myra on a diet and it ends up that she really is a supermodel..sorry,life just ain't so easy and nice,and endings are never the way we want or aim for..in life or fiction..which is why I prefer SK,as he so closely parallels life in his character studies..perhaps,you might want to read Koontz novels instead..(not that there is anything wrong with that)..glue Eddie's arm back on and resuscitate him too,and he will go back to nyc
Have you read Cujo? - there is an unhappy ending for sure!Yes, that's what I'm saying. This thread is about how I hate unhappy endings. Good call. But then, haven't a lot of the responses in defense of this ending been that it's for the best that they don't remember it?

"or pouting because you're a spoiled teenager who didn't get his way......"
And yet, I'm not the one who just got personal because someone doesn't agree with me...
