    That seems to happen to a lot of adaptations of his work. I think he may have even admitted that he’s not great at ending what he starts.

      He’s my favorite author, up there with Pratchett anyway, and yes he’s said that. He doesn’t plan anything, just sits down and starts hammering it out. He’s so engrossed in writing the tale, he doesn’t want it to end, doesn’t plan that part.
