I loved the ending to this book. I almost threw my kindle across the room when he got sent to war, but it was the best (and probably most realistic) ending I could imagine. 

I read the Author's Note at the end and appreciated this quote from Jon Mooallem, "Storytelling matters now. Emotion matters. Our imagination has become an ecological force".
