The End of the World As We Know It

So far, this is one of the best books I've read. I'm not really sure why, it just had a kind of hold on me and I sat on my ass for two hours and read it. I didn't move. It sort of entranced me. Usually I can get right into books and let my imagination run, like I'm actually there. This book had this powerful effect on me, only more so. It was very well written, but it was also a bit twisted. I liked how it ended. It didn't leave you hanging. It told you what happened with the same amount of detail as the rest of the story. The ending didn't seem hurried, like the author just wanted to finish the story and get his cheque. I also liked how the author repeatedly incorporated the title in the text. The story made sense. It was realistic. It was as if this really could have happened and the author seemed like he could have been writing about his expiriences.
