I thought the idea of giant Ants was a bit of a let down...probably the only dislike I have on Rivival...

Both have people trying to subvert the natural process of death, with horrifying results.Ag
Agree on both - Pet Semetary has the horror element of losing a loved family member while Revival deals with what happens to them and us after death. I think they are very similar structure wise, at least in the ending reveal.
However, the execution is what I wonder about. Could have been more words devoted to what was happening, and maybe a switch to third person would have been in order (not a longer book, just maybe cut out some of the other stuff and do more on the afterlife).
Defo a love or hate ending.
Now see im the oposite i thought the book was great throughout EXCEPT the ending,i didnt like it at all.I loved Revival.It has become my 3rd favorite King book.People seem to either love it or hate it.What's not to love? Even if you hate the whole book doesn't the ending make up for it? It may be my favorite King ending of all books but I have forgotten much of what I have read so sometime here during my reread I might change my opinion but no matter what I will always think the ending of Revival is spectacular!
I'm the opposite of most: I enjoyed most of the book very much. Didn't like the ending at all. I wasn't scared, more like "where did THAT come from?!?"
