This book was well written, and I definitely wanted to get to the end. But, I found the end very unsatisfying. It just kind of ended without any sort of real wrap up.
There was no explanation for the disappearances, there was no attempt to change anything, and no explanation of why the memory police exist and why they are disappearing things. <Spoiler> the concept of the book was so interesting, but I was disappointed about the lack of wrap up.
