Publisher Description
Now a Netflix original movie, this deeply scary and intensely unnerving novel follows a couple in the midst of a twisted unraveling of the darkest unease. You will be scared. But you won’t know why…
I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.
Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”
And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.
In this smart and intense literary suspense novel, Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jose Saramago’s early work, Michel Faber’s cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin, “your dread and unease will mount with every passing page” (Entertainment Weekly) of this edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, I’m Thinking of Ending Things pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.
Customer Reviews
Great, fascinating, twist and turns
I watched the movie and wanted to get a better idea of the themes within. The book shone a completely different light, in my opinion. I absolutely loved this book, it kept me guessing and created an amazing feeling or being uncomfortable and compelled to listen to every last detail. It was visceral, disgust, confusion, fear. The story is beautiful and the narration suits the story amazingly.
Boring
Zero activity, except constant yakking. If you like Woody Allen, you will enjoy this book. I did not.
