I just finished the book an hour ago, it was really good but I’m mad at myself for not being immersed enough through the last 50 pages, this was my first book, but regardless, it was a good read.
What’s puzzling me is this though, why did Charlie stop writing at the end? Did he die from implications of the rapid change that happened to his brain? Or did he lose the ability to read and rite?
One other thing, when Charlie said “I passed your floor on the way up, and now I’m passing it on the way down, and I don’t think I’ll be taking this elevator again.”
Did he mean a double meaning where he’s talking about the act of physically going up to the lab, and intellectually advancing, and then talked about leaving the lab for good along side the intellectual decline? Sort of like going up and down a pyramid ?
I really loved the book, it was technically my first book, tried reading art of war before but I couldn’t push through.
But I’m sad that i couldn’t really feel the ending, I read 100 pages yesterday and I was really into it but I had to stop, and when I continued today I simply didn’t connect that much with the story.
