Anyone already finished & want to discuss the ending?

It seems clear that Ishiguro didn't want us to know everything so craving it is just part of the writer's trick. As I said in response to a reply below, the only disappointment was the need to include a somewhat miserable ending. I haven't read all of Ishiguro's stuff but I feel like he is a bit cruel and sadistic and therefore incapable of leaving us with a happy feeling. It seems somewhat juvenile. I really liked the novel but I would prefer it ended a bit earlier. I liked Klara and so I felt like she didn't need to end up on the scrapheap (just as I didn't feel that an orphan needed to be punished in the story with that name). (less)
