I was recommended this book by a friend and while she loved it I was way to confused throughout the entire book to really enjoy it. I did love the writing style and would love to try another one of Iain’s book to give his writing a second chance.

My friend sent me a great explanation of the book that helped me better understand the whole concept which I was leaning towards once I got to the end and things started to kinda line up.

I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on Goodreads for this one so it seems to be one of those you love it or hate type of book. I’m kinda in the middle I enjoyed the writing but wasn’t a fan of how confused it left me.

Overall I’m giving it a three star based on the writing of the story

what the fuck. i’m so confused like it was alright for the first 90% but by the last chapter i was so confused did jake make this character of the girl??? and killed himself cause he felt alone? IM SORRY WHAT IS THIS😭😭😭 the way the author twisted it so much at the end got me all confused like okay so u went into an abondoned school’s closet to be alone and die there but made up this random girl’s story for “what if” this happens scenario like oh i liked that girl but was too scared cause i have intense social anxiety so i become a character, this book would have been great except the ending i am so confused.

I’m thinking of ending things é um livro bastante popular, porém polarizador. Escutei opiniões positivas e negativas sobre ele e isso despertou minha curiosidade. Após a leitura eu não sei ao certo o que foi tão polarizador para a maioria das pessoas. Achei um Thriller/Horror bastante interessante, com diálogos e dinâmica entre personagens bastante instigantes. Concordo com as pessoas que dizem que você sente o tempo todo que tem algo errado mas não sabe o que é. Isso na verdade é o que torna o livro tão interessante. Não sei se acho particularmente original pois me lembrou bastante o enredo do filme Identidade (Identity), pelo menos o plot twist é bem similar. Contudo a escrita fluiu muito bem, os diálogos entre os personagens eram bastante instigantes e a atmosfera foi excelente. Achei particularmente assustador os diálogos das ligações de telefone recebidas pela protagonista feminina. Não entendo muito porque alguém odiaria o final já que para mim foi bem satisfatório. Acredito que o fim ficou relativamente claro e não tão aberto quanto ouvi falar. Meu único problema com a obra foi a descrição de um cenário de crueldade contra animais (porcos) para o qual não estava preparada. Fora essa ocasião minha experiência com o livro foi muito boa, algo que não posso dizer sobre sua adaptação para filme. A adaptação foi péssima, talvez uma das piores adaptações de livro para filme que já vi. Recomendo ler o livro e ignorar o filme. Para a obra original dou 4.25 estrelas.

This whole book was anIoxymoron. I loved it even though I hated it. It terrified me but I wanted to keep reading. The ending was confusing but also made total sense.

Very good! An absurd book (my favourite kind) with little twistys right at the end!

I do feel accomplished I guessed some of the twists :) Because my parents have only watched the movie they convinced me that some of the book twists didn't happen because they don't happen in the movie so I still got some little "I knew it!!" surprises.

It is a quick little read with a very good payoff! I don't know why but it doesn't feel quite 5 stars for me but an absolutely excellent book! I would recommend this to people who like creepy-ish mysteries. It's not quite a thriller but not quite not a thriller and all in all very interesting. I encourage you to speculate as much as you want about the twists n turns because that made it all the more fun!

I am going to watch the movie but I am still a little skeptical of if I will like it (even though there are references to Oklahoma! my favourite nostalgic musical) but for this book review, that is neither here nor there.

There are some tough topics in this book (about mental health) so I would be wary of that going into the book

I never wrote a full review for this book at the time because I didn’t know how.

This book was so complex in a way that in full sincerity, changed the trajectory of my life. It covers mental health and the challenges of dealing with it in a way that I feel, no other book has covered in such a way before- not one that I’ve yet read. You find yourself on the edge of your seat just wondering, what the fuck is going on. But not in a negative way.
Give a psychological thriller a deep and complex hidden meaning and this book is what you get from that.

The writing style is beautiful, the story telling of the characters lives got you attached- just to reach the final fall at the end and realize how truly special unimportant seeming things are to us when the end finds us. That we are all truly a mosaic of everything good and bad that’s ever happened to us in our lives.
