Helpful Score: 2
I did not find this book boring or overly-descriptive at any point. This story really does grab your heart in every way & I actually didn't want it to end. The writing was easy to read . I loved Almondine, Edgar, & Essay, and the chapters describing Almondine's thoughts were touching & beautiful. This book is so so very good. . until you reach the end.
I wanted so bad for it to have a satisfying ending of some sort, not even a happy ending. .I would have settled with ANY type of ending other than the one it had. But it was just awful. And I am not the person that has to have perfect and happy endings to enjoy a book. I like my share of sad, tear-jerker stories, as I would be absolutely bored if they all ended happily.
The ending felt completely wrong. As if part V was written by someone else entirely different from the author of the first four parts, someone given the job to just finish the book. There were many seemingly important loose ends & side plots left completely unaddressed. It me feel like I had been fooled into thinking I was reading something great, different, inspiringly beautiful, as the ending made all of that I had read before seem almost worthless.
I would not recommend this book, solely because of how terrible it made me feel after I finished reading it. I know I sound pretty harsh, but I just have finished the book, so my emotions from reading it are very fresh!
