Good book. All the way to the last sentence where it seems to end as if a chapter is missing. Very bizzare (and unsatisfing) way to end the book.

That is all.

I read the book last summer and liked the movie’s (different) ending much better. Have you seen the movie yet?

Not yet, but soon. I primary cast members are all solid, so its probably worth seeing despite the few reviews I’ve read about it being a little “sparse” with content. I’m not surprised they changed the ending though. I’m sure any test audience would have been quite vocal about the ending featured in the book.

Ooh, I can’t wait. I saw the movie a week or two ago, and just bought the book. I’m about a page-and-a-half into it.
