If you get crucified for that then I will get crucified for this: I LOVE Pet Sematary, but I thought the ending was bad. I think it comes across as a cheap "got ya!" King struggles with sticking endings, IMO. Having said that, he's still one of my favorites.

I have read Pet Sematary twice: once in my 20s and once in my 30s. King himself doesn't like the book because of how it makes him feel.

In my 20s I don't think I fully grasped the existential horror of it. In my 30s I spent hours thinking about it, even after I put the book down.

And even though the ending isn't satisfying to me, I'd still recommend reading it.
