Now a Netflix original movie, this deeply scary and intensely unnerving novel follows a couple in the midst of a twisted unraveling of the darkest unease. You will be scared. But you won’t know why…

I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.

Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”

And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.

In this smart and intense literary suspense novel, Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jose Saramago’s early work, Michel Faber’s cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin, “your dread and unease will mount with every passing page” (Entertainment Weekly) of this edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, I’m Thinking of Ending Things pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go. Beletrystyka popularna Psychologiczne Thrillery

If you are considering reading this book, I highly recommending listening to the audiobook. The narration really brings something special when the plot twist is revealed (I had goosebumps). I really enjoyed the hints that are revealed troughout the story. I think this is one of those books where you get a completely different experience upon reading it for the second time. Highly recommend!

Well worth listening to

After all the hype surrounding the movie, we watched it a couple of months ago and were incredibly disappointed – it clearly considered itself to be quite deep and clever, while not really diving below the surface of any subject and instead resorting to name-dropping of other, better writers and thinkers. Digging around online, I saw that many who loved the book felt similarly let down by the movie, so I gave it a try myself. However, I don’t feel that the original boasts any layer of depth beyond what we’ve seen on screen. Many of the narrator’s supposedly deep or eye-opening thoughts and ideas revolve around subjects and reach conclusions that any introspective person is likely to have reached on their own at some point in their life. And perhaps that’s one reason for this story’s popularity – it pleasantly tickles the ego to find one’s own, often mundane ideas presented as deeply philosophical and deserving of artistic representation. A story that can offer neither an engaging plot nor any new concepts or ideas feels like a waste of my time.

As an aside, I am heartily sick of horror/thriller stories whose frightening element can be summed up as “mental illness”.

What I will give this is that I enjoyed Candace Thaxton’s performance.

Sadly as underwhelming as the movie

This is a different type of book. It's well-written and VERY scary. Some reviewers on GoodReads didn't like it until they got to the end. The opposite is true for me. I enjoyed it *up until* the last chapter. I thought the ending was a cop-out (no spoilers from me!). Listen to it, and see for yourself. The narrator is very good.

Truly enjoyed it, until ….
