I liked it a lot


            I really did enjoy reading The Sense of an Ending. I thought it was interesting to see life through another person’s eyes and see how a person can live a life full of regret. Tony did ramble a lot throughout the novel, and at points it got really annoying, but then he would tell an interesting story and I would love it again. It kind of annoyed me how all of Tony’s life he was thinking about his past; he was never in the present. Whenever he would be doing something nice he would think about what Adrian would think about the situation. It really annoyed me how Tony revolved his life around Adrian, even though Adrian was already dead. I did not like how the characters made Adrian’s suicide so wonderful. They thought that his suicide was so amazing and it just made me feel uncomfortable. Veronica sucked at the beginning of the novel, and continued to suck until the end. All of these characters had their own little quirks, but that is what made them real people and what made them all relatable.
            The end was so unexpected. I was not expecting all that to come out in just three pages. The fact that Adrian and Mrs. Ford had a baby really creeps me out, and the fact that Veronica was just chilling there was really weird.
            There were some parts of the novel that I really related to. The parts about how you have to live your life to the fullest no matter how dull it is. This book also not me not to dwell on the past so much, because what happened already happened and you cannot change the past. It was something I already knew but it was more eye opening to read it.
