No, seriously. So very much better ending.
Update! Yes, it's still not the book, and not as powerful as the ending that's in the book. But it's probably hard to adapt the second greatest vampire book ever written. Still, it's tons better ending than the crapola that was on the screen in the movie that was released. This one was kind of like The Mist. 1/2 to 2/3rds of the movie was a solid working of spiritual essence of the source material. And then it all went to shit at the end...
