What to say about The End of the Story? I have mixed feelings. It was quite good, but also painful and uncomfortable. Yet, I just didn't really get into it. It would have felt better to me as a short story or novella. The novel just went on for far too long. Near the end it was like, yes, I get it, you were seeing this guy, then you stopped. Okay fine.
What made this particularly interesting though, was all of the underlined words from the one other person who has ever checked this book out of the DC public library system. Whoever it was underlined so many words throughout the whole novel.
At first I thought that maybe the person had been underlining vocabulary words/words to look up in a dictionary, but since underlined words included dozed and briskly, I have to hope not.
So my next idea was that this person was trying to convey a top secret message to the next reader. I wrote out the first few underlined words, but I must confess that I do not understand the super top secret message:
Crouched slatted flushed pitted coaster briskly vagrant parched plaid atrium stream bed misstatements marshland cedar hovered loamy. . .
In other news, I read Tropic of Cancer. The less said about that one the better, trust me.
