whoa! what happened?! all of the sudden it's been a week and i don't remember how it ended! oh wait! yes i do! i just found it to be sudden and anticlimactic.. maybe it was because i read the last half in one go, and that made it seem like one giant scene in which action was more or less a description of events in a past tense... or maybe it was because i had too many expectations for what i wanted to happen... or MAYBE i could feel the thickness of the book dwindling, and was more excited at that then the leavings of character's finality all over the page... OR PERHAPS i just wasn't eating spicy salsa with chips, taking away that physical excitement that i am experiencing right now, which i wasn't ... then.
however without my angst caused by literary boomlessness, i DID feel satisfied when it was over. i truly didn't want silver to be hung, or even tried. let alone marooned or killed. and nobody else i wanted to live died either, so that was a bonus which i'm not often given in these dramatic-tug-on-my-ensnared-heart days of drama. i may or may not have been a wee bit frustrated at jim's little solo adventure, but mainly because i tried to imagine it so furiously that it became real and scary and something i didn't ever want to experience. but that was purely a directional thing (shouldn't all boats just go straight?! conFOUNDED technology)... other than that. i dunno. i for sure enjoyed it, but didn't get a gratifying sense of accomplishment when finishing it. my inner sanctum of imagination (and it's populace) were not dressed to the teeth in pirate gear and raring to seek out some plunder, but a keen interest in big knives and muzzle loaders seemed to develop, which i do not condone but educationally allow. good pick glynis. good pick.
((is everyone good with 'the screwtape letters'? protest or proceed?))
