Gypsy Morph by Terry Brooks - unfinished word intentional

On page 283 of Gypsy Morph by Terry Brooks there is an unfinished word that many believed was a misprint or misbound book.

We've just found out from the Bookseller that the author intentionally unfinished the word to convey what happened. I can't elaborate without spoiling the story, but I'm sure once you read it you'll know what I mean.

Apparently they've been receiving a lot of email concerning this on Terry's website.

"For those who want to know exactly what happened to that character, Terry asks you to go back and re-read the last few paragraphs leading up to the last sentence. It should become apparent what happened to that character. If it does not become apparent, feel free to visit the Forum where it is being discussed right now and learn the fate of that character and why the chapter ends as it does: The End of Chapter 25."
