not at all faithful to the book
Changing King's inevitably bad ending and some other parts is doing it justice though. Film adaptations of King's work should never really be faithful. I can't think of one novel, other than maybe Salem's Lot, that doesn't have weird unnecessary parts. Short stories are another story.

It was King's #1 reason he hated the movie. But I do agree with your assessment of King's adaptability.
