Simple and fascinating. If you've ever complained about an ambiguous ending, read this. This is an open-ended conclusion done right.
This shows that an ambiguous ending shouldn't be a story unfinished. This is a story about a question, a question about human nature. What better way to pose a question, than to leave it unanswered?

A fitting end to the series. The twists and turns as expectedly unexpected as ever.

One of the better writing books I’ve read.
The chapters were varied and interesting. A good amount of depth to the topics.
You don’t have to have read any of Kurt Vonnegut to appreciate this.

Neil Oliver is one of my favourite writers. This is one of my favourites from him.
A true love letter to the British Isles.

It puts across some fascinating points in an extremely readable way.
Anyone could read this, and they should.

Fascinating story, told in detail.

Some simple information that’s easily followed.

Particularly enjoyed some of the chapters — especially the latter half — but they were hit or miss and can be quite slow.

A really encouraging read.
It felt a little like it was going over the same information over again towards the late middle, but then it picked up again in interest for me at the end again.
Definitely worth a read.

This book got me thinking, for better or worse. Worth a read for anyone in the creative world, but be ready to question everything.
