The ending of this novel was not what I expected in many ways. Once again I was disappointed by the lack of excitement in the action of the present for the main characters of the book. Remember that big dillema that I described in my second post? Well if you don't, the dillema was that if just one of them revealed the name of their leader then they all would go free. In the novel, this was the big ending that I had been preparing for the whole time. I was so excited to find out what would happen, but Buffalino decides that this wasn't all that important now that we have tons of development on every single character and ends that problem with one sentence. Not nearly what I expected. I won't reveal what happened for those of you who still wish to read this after hearing of all my disappointments.
This novel, overall, was a pretty big waste of my time. I did not enjoy the read and the ending was so boring it makes me sick. The writing style was one that bored me, the content of the book was minimal, and maybe not even that if you don't count telling stories as action, and it left me, in the end, wanting nothing else than picking up a different book and reading to try to forget this one.
I would only recommend this book to people who enjoy reading but learning nothing at all but character development, if those people exist.
