CITR Ch.21-26 Response

I really dislike the ending of this book it just kind of stops and leaves you hanging. I think that in the last chapter you can see that holden is trying to get things resolved and making some progress but he is still not better. I wonder if he will be completely cured from his sickness. I thinbk that he finally started to realize the way he was to other people which is good.
