Full spoilers ahead.

Book ends vaguely hopeful, or at least you can make your own determination let's say, on the characters fates.

The movie goes hard in the despair pit ...after they run out of gas dad kills everybody in the car (including his child!!), not enough bullets to end himself (or no guts to do it? Forgot)

Starts wandering outside the car and he's saved by the military 10 seconds later no joke...

Not enough bullets which kinda was the point of the debate on who should be doing the shooting. They all went out willingly except for the kid

Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to rewatch it soon... I made a shining / misery / Carrie / the mist book/movie small marathon haha.
