3/3

Here we are,
at the end of the novel.
As a general statement, I really enjoyed most things about the book, the characters were great, the story line was interesting and the writting style had a wonderful originality to it, that kept me interested the whole time.
But before we go on,
I have to mention that the ending was something I really did not enjoy,

Yes, it was a happy ending, with Susan back in the picture and Will recovering from his coma, but part of me wanted this book to end on a more negative note,
for me, there were so many questions left unanswered that I would have rathered Susan be left missing, than end up mentioned breiefly on the last page. It felt unfinished, and rushed. But overall the ending was the only complaint I have.

Next I would like to mention how happy I am that Annie ended up with Gordon, there relationship was defintly something I really enjoyed about this novel, the whole "protector" thing really made me think and brought some questions to mind, I think a whole novel could easily be written soley about their relationship.

At the end, I still found myself leaning towards Will being my favorite character. Everything he faced and overcame throughout the novel really made me gain respect for his character. From befriending a bear, to living in solitude, to waking up from a coma, to coming to terms with his problems, he was a very uncomplicated complicated character that I felt myself drawn too from start to finish.

Overall,
this has to be one of my favorite books read up to date.

I hope everyone enjoyed reading this novel, just as much as I did.

  1. Likewise, I overall enjoyed the book but felt like the ending needed more to it. There still so much mystery surrounding Suzanne that I feel like the author needed to explain. Like you as well, I like Annie's and Gordon's relationship and I would like to read more about it.
