À propos de cet audio
In this deeply scary and intensely unnerving debut novel, Jake and a woman known only as "The Girlfriend" are on a drive to visit his parents at their secluded farm. But when Jake leaves "The Girlfriend" stranded at an abandoned high school, what follows is a twisted unraveling of the darkest unease, an exploration into psychological frailty, and an ending as suspenseful as The Usual Suspects and as haunting as Misery.
Deeply scary and intensely unnerving, Iain Reid's debut novel is a tightening spiral of a story about a woman's uncertainty of her relationship with her boyfriend, Jake. After an uncomfortable and confusing trip to meet Jake's parents at their isolated farmhouse, reality unravels, and events spin out of control when Jake and "The Girlfriend" make an unscheduled stop at an abandoned high school.
Part murder mystery, part psychological thriller, I'm Thinking of Ending Things is about doubt, psychological fragility, and the lengths we'll go to avoid the truth. As twisted as Shutter Island, as suspenseful as Under the Skin, and as atmospheric as The Sisters Brothers, Reid's breakout literary thriller is sure to keep listeners guessing until the last minute.

Good audiobook for a lazy story
Unfortunately I felt this story was both predictable and lazy in its telling. Many enjoy the book, but there is a lot of time spent proving the narrator is smart and then a predictable and unsatisfying ending. In one word I would call this book “skippable”.

good creep tone
there seem to be a problem with the audio version of the book around chapter 22. suddenly there was a fragment of what I think is content that should be in the final chapter. it made the story more confusing than it needed to be, and kind of ruined the effect of the other shoe dropping.

Better book to read than to listen to
A little on the flimsy side for my liking, as a psychological thriller. I could not connect the actions of the plot to the character flaws and the later chapters were jumbled in inconsistencies. Likely a better book to read than to listen to.

great book but it's better read than listened to
i watched the movie so i knew what to look for and what to pay attention to but i imagine it'd be a more "well rounded" experience if i had the actual text.
still it was a great listen. the narrator is amazing 10/10.

Minor spoilers ahead , nothing specific though
This is definitely a creepy and unsettling book, but *minor spoilers ahead*
I figured out the plot pretty quickly. And the last two chapters drug and were unnecessarily IMO. I was a little annoyed at the ending because I personally found it predictable, but it was a creepy, short listen which was what I was looking for.

Entertaining and creepily interesting
Many may think the book is hard to follow, but honestly, I feel appreciative of how the story was told. I watched the movie adaptation first, and was drawn to knowing what the book was like. The mundane relationship quirks really played into the twistedness of the end story. The narrators gave a fantastic delivery . It’s a book that should be experienced.

A bone chilling novel
this is probably one of the best written books I have ever read. The story has this looming sense of dread that follows until the very last twist. Overall a wonderful book

Taut. Knows what it is. Good narration. Brilliant.
Absolutely loved the book - both the story and the performance.
I appreciate a book that knows what it is going for and does it efficiently. And this book is one of those. The author COULD HAVE EASILY OVERREACHED and tried to explore the philosophical threads a lot more. But I am glad he didn’t. He knows what he has set out to do i.e. tell a COMPELLING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER and he delivers.
The duration of the book is perfect. Its taut and does not meander. It is short enough to finish in a couple of sittings, which is ideal. There are many small details which could have been missed otherwise.
GREAT NARRATION: This is not a book that can be easily translated from pages to audio but the narrator does a Great job.
