The End of Mr Y

[Juliette108]

Has anybody else read this?

Yes!

And me!

Me too. Liked it a lot, but didn't like the ending too much.

Brill. I wanted to see what other people thought. I really enjoyed it, and the relative originality of it, especially as I read it after 'The Outcast' which I found tedious and very very average.
I found the ending unsatisfactory, but then I do most endings. In fact, I sometimes read them first as I know they will be such a let down.

Yes that was my thoughts too, really enjoyed and then at the end it was just like huh?

It really irritated me. Normally I wouldn't have finished something like that but I was desperate for reading matter at the time!

I thought it had some really exciting descriptions and at times I was quite gripped by events but ultimately I thought she was just using the novel as a vehicle to show off about quantum physics and I got really bored by that as it really seemed a sort of "look how clever I am" sort of over-doing which took over of from the plot. I couldn't warm to Ariel much either.

Ultimately I just thought it was pretentious and that was a real shame because I think if she cut out all the showing off she could be a really good writer.

The cover was gorgeous though!

I enjoyed it although it is not as good as Pirsig's Lila

The author has written a series of crime novels that are better imho.

Oooooh I loved this book! Scarlotte Thomas writes really good books, try PopCo as well and the one about the boy who couldn't go out in the sun, can't remember the title.

I mostly enjoyed it but I found the clever clever physics stuff rather spoilt the flow and was a bit pretentious.

Not a patch on Jasper Fforde, though.

I enjoyed it, but felt it was trying too hard.

Bought it for the cover & page edging
