I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. Wow. WOW. Wooooow. Wwwoooowww. Wow. WOW. Wow. Wow. Wooooowwww. Woooow. Wow. wOW. WOW.
I first heard of this book when Kayla, from BooksandLala, read it and mentioned it on her YouTube channel. From her reaction to her experience reading it, I knew I wanted to pick it up.
Since that time, I have successfully avoided all spoilers, reviews and honestly, even the synopsis.
On a whim, I decided to start the audiobook on Saturday.
First, let me just say, the audiobook was amazing, and in my estimation, absolutely the best way to experience this story.
I am not going to say a thing about the content of this book. I wouldn’t want to spoil one single sentence for anyone who hasn’t read it, but wants to.
I’m Thinking of Ending Things is unconventional, it’s weird, it’s dark and it shook me. When the reveal happens in audio, I was out walking my dog and was so chilled, I had to stop walking.
I genuinely thought this was brilliant.
Regardless of the final outcome of this novel, throughout the entire story I was creeped out.
It’s such an odd experience, because there is nothing overtly scary happening, but the feeling of dread that I had the entire time I was listening to it was pretty epic.
Overall, I think this audiobook is an amazing experience. If you are looking to be played and have everything you thought you knew flipped on its head, pick it up.
