Final thinks

I finished the book at 3am today morning. Wow.

I didn't sleep immediately after because I was replaying scenes in my mind. The book just got better and better until it ended. All the characters got better. Situations got worse and then okay. The story got faster. I want to read it again.

I'm really happy Charlie wrote that last letter to his Dear friend. It gave that friend and Charlie closure, I think. Although the ending was happy in a sad kind of way, it was so important. It wasn't about a happy ending or that everything went back to normal or that things were all okay, but that things would be okay soon and it was headed there. The story didn't just end with the book. It leaves you knowing that Charlie, Sam and Patrick are out there facing new problems and still living their interesting lives. It leaves you wondering what life would be for each of them after everything that happened. There's more to come, but for now, things are alright.

Also, Sam has long, flowing hair in the book. He says this only in the very end so I realized I had been picturing her wrong throughout. But then when I thought of Charlie describing her 'unconventional beauty', I like the idea of her with short hair much more.

I'm now happy that I bought the book instead of borrowing it because I feel proud to own a copy. In fact, I think I'll put my name in this one.

That's all. If you haven't read it, please do.
