Obedience

I could not put this book down, and I wished that I knew someone else who was reading it at the same time as me so that I could commiserate my “what in the hell is going on?!?!?” feeling with another human being. Kind of mindblowingly creepy and intricately twisted, confusing and thrilling.

And then the final ten pages happened. I don't really know what I was expecting, or if I really could have expected anything different, but I was extraordinarily disappointed with the grand denouement. I can't say that I have a clue as to what would have constituted a satisfying ending to the labyrinth of this book, so I feel somewhat sheepish complaining, but I must say that the lackluster conclusion really ruined my experience of the book. I had so much enthusiasm about this story, and all of the wind was sucked from my sails. Unfortunate.
