Overall, I liked the book more than the movie, but I did prefer the film's ending. I thought that they should've explained the part about Mort's past plagairism a little more in the film though. They mention it but never really give the story behind it.
Sums up my views about 100 percent. Enjoyable.

What is the big fucking deal with the main characters being insane. Is this the only hook that script writers can come up with these days?
My mistake - there is the one "they were really dead".
But fuck me... it was fresh in Fight Club, it was done well in Identity, but god damn - its been done over and over again.
Oh Shooter is a homicidal personality. Wow. Thanks Mr. King take another 5 million dollar cheque.

Umm... The book was first published in 1988. So rather than blaming King who had little to do with the project, you could blame the director/producer for leaving it so long to decide to make a film from the story.
If that's a little too hard for you to understand -
Stephen King - Four Past Midnight (book) -
1988 \
Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club (book) -
1996
Identity (movie) -
2002
So who had the original idea?
