Query: All that for an ending that falls flat!

I am a huge fan of Stephen King, but as far as I'm concerned, he dropped the ball on this one. Don't get me wrong; this book is as scary and atmospheric as anything he has written. Most of it is very good, and the length did not bother me until I got to the end. The payoff, where what "IT" is is revealed, was so lame and unconvincing (I won't say what it turned out to be, but it was an old, tired horror-movie cliche) that I was completely turned off. I couldn't help feeling that King spent most of the time he was writing this book with absolutely no idea what the mysterious monster was going to be. That's why the book starts out so well; as long as the mystery remains, it is a gripping, scary story. But when the time came to reveal the monster, I can't help but feel that King just couldn't come up with anything, so he threw together a slapdash ending and stuck it on the book to meet his deadline. a MAJOR disappointment.
