I don't think I ever ...Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />I don't think I ever tried all that hard to figure out what was going on while I was reading, because I was too caught up in it all and just wanted to see what would happen next. The ending, I think, would be excellent for a book club. Urasawa packed a lot into it. Too bad 18 manga volumes is a bit much to expect a whole book club to read together.<br /><br />This series really made me wish the anime was still on Netflix. I never got a chance to finish it all, and it'd make perfect binge-watching material right now.A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094562384038868734.post-9187902538690516542014-12-07T17:02:07.283-06:002014-12-07T17:02:07.283-06:00Most of the time while I was reading "Monster...Most of the time while I was reading "Monster", I felt I wasn't smart enough to figure out exactly what was going on... I was in way over my head. But I kept wanting to read more, pretty much the whole time.<br /><br />I felt the same way about the ending. It wasn't unsatisfying (compared to a lot of other stories, especially anime/manga) but it wasn't exactly satisfying either. I guess that's to be expected of something like this. Anyway, if there was complete closure at the end, maybe it would come off as a bit contrived.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading this! Thanks for the post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
