I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.
Jake once said, “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.”
And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.
In this smart and intense literary suspense novel, Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, I’m Thinking of Ending Things pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.
The ending wasn't entirely a surprise by the time I got there, but I can't say I enjoy reading about psychotic people killing themselves, or psychosis being used as horror story material. I still have lots of questions, but the ending makes me too uncomfortable to think about the possible answers.
Won't say it's a bad book, but I wish I hadn't read it.
