A review by egslcgns
I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

If 'the backrooms' as a concept was a novel. Every chapter sucks you in but its also extremely uncomfortable - not recommended as a bedtime read. Definitely a Book Club book because of the astonishing ending, I think processing it would take lots of discussion and interpretation. Big questions into identity, loneliness, and of course - the central question.
