I'm Thinking of Ending Things Paperback – 25 August 2020

Narration was really good, felt it was a thriller but author had a different plan and ending was really good.

I felt it was incomplete.... Narration went a little haywire at times.... I wasn't a very profound reader at the time so had a hard time understand what exactly was i reading.... But it all made sense in the end... It was a quick read.. So im probably gonna give it a re-read and update my review soon

Gave 3 stars because I was not surprised with the ending I've read many books like this before. Beginners in suspense/psychological thriller will find the ending astonishing.

MILD SPOILERS: Just done reading the Kindle version of this book. Am not sure what rating to give for this book. It is soo good and terrifying that it affected me personally.I was struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts and got over it only few months back (after therapy and some self helf books). This book relapsed it. Am afraid that once again I've to go through the process of overcoming the demons.As an introvert, shy, socially awkward and anxious driven person myself, I feel terrified after reading it. Some parts of the book is like reading my own journal, I saw myself in most parts. Am afraid that this book will hold in to me throughout my life.CAUTION: If you are struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. DO NO READ this book.This book is being adapted to movie by Netflix and directed by my fav Charlie Kaufman. I think I don't have balls to watch the movie.

One of the best book I've read in recent times. Incredibly Clever and the ending is amazing. I would recommend others to read it too

Iain Reid's 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' is a psychological thriller that skillfully builds tension and keeps you guessing. It delves into complex human relationships and existential questions. However, it's not for everyone; its ambiguity and unconventional style may be challenging. Personally, it left me feeling dizzy and initially confused, but with distance, I grasped its point. I can't say I thoroughly enjoyed it; it's a pick for those who relish mind-bending mysteries.

Loved the book ! Ending is shocking and open to reader's own conclusions ! A very short read by mind boggling nontheless !

Just finished it.When I was looking for reviews regarding this book.I was not able to find many but the ones I did find were on two sides of the poles.They either loved it of they hated it.I happened to love it.It is quick paced ,interesting and a definite page turner especially towards the end.It has a fantastic mind blowing twist which I did not see coming and probably neither will you.I am tempted to say more but won't cause it might spoil things.Buy I will say that even though it is a mystery novel ,it scared me.Really scared me.I highly recommend it .

If you watched the movie be aware this book is very different and so much better! It’s really good and deals with heavy mental illness topics but in a really wonderful twisty way. If you don’t like sad and traumatic books that deal with heavy mental illness and outcomes don’t read it. If you don’t like pretty severe psychological horror don’t read! But if you like all these things and love books that make you question reality and leaves some interpretation up to you… READ it!!!! I think you could read this several times and come up with all kinds of different hidden meanings behind it. It’s similar to "we need to talk about Kevin"… if you like that you’ll like this especially if you like to try and figure out the authors intentions or even if you like your own unique meanings. Read it if you can handle it!

Começo dizendo que esse livro não vai ser do gosto de muitos. Ele é escrito no estilo de fluxo de consciência, e a narrativa foca nas conversas entre os personagens e memórias intercaladas para avançar, a localização é limitada a poucos espaços fechados e atmosfera é bastante claustrofóbica.O livro possui uma boa mistura de mistério com uma pitada de terror psicológico, e como o próprio autor descreve nas páginas: o que importa é apenas uma pergunta. O interesse está em encontar as pistas que os personagens vão deixando entre suas falas, para assim montar o quebra-cabeça das memórias e acontecimentos narrados e chegar à resposta final junto à personagem.Acredito que esses sejam os principais pontos para ter em mente antes de iniciar a leitura, e eu recomendo que, assim como eu, ela seja feita sem haver lido muito da sinopse, e de preferência em uma única sentada. No mais, é importante atentar para os gatilhos da história.

5 estrellas porque el libro llegó en perfectas condiciones y en el tiempo estimado.En cuanto al contenido; no me gustó, es muy depresivo, pero no me atrevería a calificar el libro en base a ello porque es una opinión personal, que dice más de mi que de el producto.

I had no idea what I was embarking on when I picked up ‘I’m thinking of ending things” by Iain Reid. It was bookstagram that made me do it, and I just went in without asking too many questions. I can totally see why it has become Netflix film by Charlie Kaufman.Jake and his girlfriend are on a drive to visit his parents at their remote farm. After dinner at the family home, things begin to get worryingly strange. And when he leaves her stranded in a snowstorm at an abandoned high school later that night, what follows is a chilling exploration of psychological frailty and the limitations of reality.This is more than just a mystery, it is a book about relationships, what connects us, there is a lot of life wisdom packed up in its 208 pages. Ian Reid is definitely on top of his game here. It takes a skilled writer to be able to truly shock a reader, guiding them in one direction, all the while preparing a surprising detour in another. Reid did exactly that to me. The subtle foreshadowing with a storytelling arch that kept the right balance between unpredictability and a convincing revelation. And this will be an unforgettable book. I am curious about the Netflix film now, but not sure if I am ready for it yet, the book is quite filmic in some ways, however there is so much from the main character in the in-between that I worry is not completely translatable onto screen, but I guess it will just be a whole new story.“Just tell your story. Pretty much all memory is fiction and heavily edited”I'm Thinking of Ending Things, I agree, is, as many are claiming, a highly original literary thriller. It grabbed me from the start, I finished reading it in one sitting.There are lots of quotable passages too!

Attention impression faire par Amazon, couverture douce qui retiens le gras, papier épais.Pour ce qui est du livre, histoire intrigante et totalement addictive.
