The Sense of an Ending, 4 stars, by Julian Barnes

[Amy]

Wow! That was interesting. A really unusual reading experience. This one stays with you. I read the entire thing between late last night and this morning and in pretty much one shot. And I think that's the way this book should be read, processed, and digested. Winner of the Man Booker Prize, and I can see why.

[Susie]

I love Barnes’ writing. Subtle but beautiful.

[Tracy]

Love this book!

[Diane]

I loved this one too. There's a movie.

You liked this? I have only ever read one book by him and I loathed it. England, England How did I hate it? Let me count the ways...

How much did I hate it? I can't even begin to describe it--I hate it more in memory than when I was reading it since some parts near the beginning were okay, but the negative things about it for me where huge and wiped out anything I liked about it in my memory.

It is satire, but that's only one of the things I intensely disliked about it. If I were to write a review now, it would be much more scathing than the one I wrote, which I just checked, and when I still remembered that the man has a lot of writing talent. That's all forgotten now, though.

I really liked this book. 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

I gave this one 3 stars. I thought it started out well enough, but fell flat in the end.

[JoLene]

I know that I'm in the minority but I really didn't care for this book much at all. I have read other things by Barnes (pre GR), and think that he's a good writer but I think that I prefer to have at least one likable character or someone so bad, that you really hate them.

[Jason]

I still need to get to Barnes. I will one day.

I also gave it 4****

I think it's one of those books that I appreciate more than I "like" it.
