The Cabin at the End of the World

I'm actually really surprised to see so many bad reviews for this book. I was so invested and enthralled the whole way through and really liked the ambiguity and pacing. I do think it wasn't the right narrator for this audiobook, but not enough to be distracting, and I even listend to it on a slower speed than I do typically. I even saw some people say it would be better as a movie when I was thinking the whole way through, “wow this is a great book, but idk how they're gonna make it work as a movie.”  If only because so much of this book is what people are thinking.

One thing I'll say for sure is that this would be such a fascinating book for discussion to see what parts any one person believes to be true and what their take on it is.

It's probably worth noting that this is the first Paul Tremblay book I've ever read and will definitely be diving into the rest of his work. 

I gotta say I was and remain devastated about Wen's death. There is so much time up to that point spent inside of her thoughts and young life that while I can appreciate it for going there I'm also really sad that it did. It's such maximum cruelty. I also can't help but wonder why a gay couple? Why put them specifically though that, is there commentary there that isn't clicking or was it just to add that level of uncertainty about it being a revenge situation motivated by targeted hate? is that the whole point???
