Ending of this book( possible spoilers)

[ElizaBeth Adams]

My favorite character was Kim Jung Lo. He risked his life to alter the code of the EMP. I admired his courage.

[Erin Dydek]

The ending didn't feel particularly ground-breaking since we already knew about Kim Jung Lo's sabotage, but I can't say I have any particular complaint. It ties the loose ends and gives a reasonable conclusion to the climax. Nothing spectacular, but it works.

I agree. I think I was happiest to know that Kim Jung Lo was acknowledged as the real hero who saved the world. It was also nice to know he escaped to live a simple life on the farm instead of being sent to a prison camp. But, yeah, the world was saved, everyone was happy, the end.

I agree. He was a true hero of this book.

I thought the ending was pretty good. I did feel like all the ends were tied up. I do agree with lots of reviewers above that it did seem rushed.

Do you feel like build up was solid and then just everything kind off ended abrubtly?

Yes I would agree with that statement. I enjoyed the build up around whether or not they would stop the bomb. But once that was taken care up, the book ended rather quickly.

I'm a teacher. I'm not blowing my own horn but teachers try to make the world a better place every day. There is no credit but there is a sense of a job well done and saved even without the credit, like teaching. Excellent book!

Okay I taught pre-school, special education pre-school and substituted Pre-K up to middle school, as well. I definitely more just felt like I stumbled through the day and questioned how great I was and if I'd done right by the kids. Haha. But there is definitely not a lot of credit for the work and hours teachers put in!

I found the ending rushed. It seemed like the blurbs rolling out during credits in a movie. Even though, I liked that Kim Jung lo's code worked. I did not like the part where dear leader doesn't have any repurcussion. I felt bad for general Lee actually. I wish general had the foresight to run away.

I don't like that DL doesn't suffer any repercussions either. But still if feels like something in real life what with many leaders reuining their countries and people without any consequences.

[Urbashi Basu]

So true, unfortunately. Since fantasy was mostly the way the book dealt about the threat to develop plot I wish it would continue by making president Bigelow's threat a reality.

[Monishka Sharma]

I liked the ending but it lost a bit of it's luster for me. It felt a little detached and rushed.

I felt that too... Abrupt ending but the hero working for country in shadows and all that is pretty good.

I liked the ending but it lost a bit of it's luster for me. It felt a little detached and rushed.

That is exactly how I felt about it.

[amihughson]

I pretty much agree. Though rushed the ending tied everything up with a neat little bow. If it weren't for all the plot conveniences and the general lack of suspense I think I would have enjoyed it fine. As it was, it was sort of sad and predictable. At least, that's my opinion.

[Echo Haapala]

I really liked the ending of this book. To me, it seemed very plausible. I also really enjoyed the epilogue. It was a nice touch since there were so many characters introduced.

I also am a teacher (retired but subbing). I agree with the above comment about not receiving credit, but not really desiring it. I think that's how Kim Jung Lo felt, too. He did the best he could to save the world. I felt the whole book was just written too simplistically. As one of the other questions in this forum discussed, it had the flavor of being a spoof of our country's defenses and international relationships. WIth that in mind, I think the ending followed in that manner.

I struggled to get through the book. It just wasn’t holding my interest at all, so I was hoping the ending would give me that feeling that I was glad I stuck with it but it didn’t work out that way. It felt like it was ended just to get it over with.

I agree with you on the teachers role though am not one
