we talked about it in class today, but i still think that it ended too soon and too abruptly, it was kinda like the ending to I am Legend
i must talk to this wise man Udall his book was terrific and some of the most fun I have had in reading a book in forever..get this man a ticket to nawlins or a live chat..Udall is the man. I think that the ending was perfect just like no country for old men and the departed and many great films/books of this day in age. It was exactly how it should have been
its not that the ending was vague, but there were significantly less details. thats what i think
i think that udall's ending of the book was perfect! i hate reading books that end somewhat open-ended and you feel like all the loose ends are not resolved. udall's ending makes a point that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, but he does not create one of those stupid fairy-tale endings which i think would have resulted if the mailman was still alive. he just puts it as life is life and you just have to keep forging on.
Yea I really think he slacked on the ending, but it wasnt bad. He could have put more effort into it.
I don't think it was lack of effort but instead he wanted the reader to still have some thinking left to do. I do have some unanswered questions but if you could simply figure out the whole book...how boring would that be?
i dont think it was too abrupt.. it was perfect. the twist was amazing how Nicholas was actually supposed to be Edgars father and how Edgar was told by God that his purpose in life was to actually go back to him. very cool.
I really enjoyed the ending, but think that more pages could have been made out of it. It seems like part of Willie Sherman dragged on where Stony Run could have used a little more. All-in-all the book is awesome and a great note to end on!
I dont think the ending was abrupt. Edgar told the interesting part of his life throughout the book and the ending demonstrates that Edgar has finally settled down and resumed a normal life. Everything in Edgar's life was resolved and the book completed the circle of Edgar's life.
i didnt think that it was too abrupt, rather i felt like the ending really summed the book up very well, Udall did a great job in closing the book with us discovering that the book we just read was the long hours of work at Edgar's hermes jubilee, i really liked the ending
The problem with the ending is that Edgar never meets the mailman. He never really completes his quest. He does tell the wife, but that doesn't count. She is not the mailman.
i do think it was too abrupt. Edgar spends the whole novel writing every last detail and in the last few pages slows down. i think that the reason for this is because in the beginning of the book he did not have a home and was "stressed out" ( for lack of a better word) so he just typed everything he thought. When he finally finds his home is does not need to think about the "meaning of life" or where his place in the world is, so he relaxes his thoughts
I loved the ending of this book. Most other book's endings really make me P.O.'d because they don't tell what happens to the character. I mean I have spent hours reading about the character and I don't know what happens to them. I LOVED THIS BOOK.
i didn't think the book ended abruptly because it told you what happened to Edgar after he found the mailman's life. if it had gone into more detail, it would have made the book drudge on.
At first I thought the ending was a little abrupt, but I think that after all Edgar went through his life deserved to be calmer and I think that is what Udall was trying to accomplish with the end. It didn't need to be dragged out or anything. I think that everything that needed to be said was said and everything in Edgar's life was settled. I thought the ending was good.
i didn't really like the ending. the only thing i liked about it was it was really shocking. at the same time i did not like that i have been reading about the kid and his horrible life this whole time when he could have been living with Rosa and Nicholas who would have loved and cared for him. and it also sucks that Nicholas died before Edgar finally made it to him
