I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
5.0
"Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought." – Iain Reid.
"I'm Thinking Of Ending Things" is my first book this decade and the philosophical suspense was worth my time. I crave and always desire books that challenge my intellect, and leave my mind sharper afterwards.
"An ingeniously twisted nightmare road trip through the fragile psyches of two young lovers." – Charlie Kaufman.
In this ingenious debut by Iain Reid,
Two young lovers are on a road trip, Jake & his nameless girlfriend (who initially happens to be the narrator), until the thriller gives up the sneak and snatches your psyche, schools you and paints your brilliance, enlightens you, gives you a reason to marvel at the mind of Iain Reid and trust me this book is hooking.
The dazzling part about the book is that you can never predict it. Never. NEVER. It is nothing like you have ever imagined. NOTHING. When Jake and his girlfriend leave his parents house which was a weird experience and head back for the city, they make two stops. One at Dairy Queen and another at a School. It is at this school where your mind tries to connect dots until the story schools you into how words are actually in the hands of the author.
I love the book and I don't mind having Iain Reid's brain for keeps! We need to write fearlessly like this Canadian Author. If I could swallow this book, I would, at least have some of its wonders seep into my bloodstream. Thank you @messy_alaa for the recommendation! I love you! It's now a Netflix 2020 film but THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER. Read the book first.
