![]() ![]() I thought it was a hilarious take on adulthood and this “real world” that everyone worries about. When I first read this book I was in high school and probably still working at my first job ever as a sales associate at Toys R Us (but that’s a story for another day). But the hilarious, somewhat tragic, and in the end an all-too-real look at the lives of everyone in the workforce had enough to go on. It’s great to come to the end of a book and think that the payoff was worth the journey. Most books end in a satisfying way and I think that’s great. Then We Came To The End made me feel something that I rarely feel in finishing a book: the desire for it to go on. I’m not talking about my reaction to what happens, but more how I feel towards finishing the book and putting it down. Joshua Ferris’ Then We Came to the End is equal parts stinging satire of working and moving character study about the meaning of lifeįor me, the best way to tell how I felt about a book is looking at my reaction to the ending. ![]()
