Title: Good book ruined with a bad ending
Review: I am glad to hear that the movie has the opposite ending as the book. Admittedly, the book is captivating and brings up some issues worth thinking about. However, when I got to the end of the book I felt as if the author just gave up and took the easy way out. I even woke up in the middle of the night after reading the book, furious at the ending. Of course, in life there are tragic and unexpected events, but I really felt that the ending was a stretch - very unrealistic. It was kind of like watching a bad soap opera. The author spent a lot of time describing the feelings of each character leading up to this ending but then wrote an abrupt and catastrophic ending without really allowing time to explore the consequences of it. So thumbs up for the great writing style and ability to keep the reader interested and thinking. But overall I was totally in shock and disappointed in the end result of the book.
