The ending wasn't even bad!! It was reminiscent of Lake Mungo- one of my all time favorite movies- and wraps everything up in a delightfully dreadful bow. Unfortunately, it does not fit with the first half of the book whatsoever. The set up of having a posthumous release of Jack's novel littered with comments and additions from everyone else is a FANTASTIC premise. Jack is such a despicable dirtbag that having the footnotes or addendums helps break up the monotony of his bitching and self-aggrandizing while adding a sense of flavor to keep you interested in unravelling the human trashfire that is "Jack Sparks". But it feels like the author kind of forgot to stick with this format, and it seriously dampens any sense of curiosity (or microscopic level of sympathy) in that seeing that reveal. The first half was so, so strong. The second half failed to keep me emotionally or intellectually invested, so the ending (which by all rights should have had me hella excited) left me saying "huh. okay, that's neat.. I guess."
I'll still consider it a strong recommendation, but without any personal sense of investment.… (mais)
