Final Post week 2

I was very disappointed with the ending of the City of Glass. Like all great literature, you hope that the end will mount up to something that will make you think outside the box and stimulate your mind however it did not take this turn but I will away from this and look more closely and how it can be compared to other deactivate books. As deactivate books go the leading male character always seem to be very strong mentally and physically. Take the example of Auster he live outside Peter Stillman house for months without sleeping or even eating a regular amount of food a day. Also in the case of Marlow from the Big Sleep, he stops at no end to find out the killer even if he breaks the law or risks his own life.
Even though many of us have disliked this book, it takes a new turn in terms of a detective novel. Not many novels have the author playing an actual character and in fact not having a detective investigating the mystery is a new notion for a detective novel. To sum up I feel that this book can a new turn of detective books perhaps the author is trying to relate his book to perhaps a new world which we exist in where not everything is so idealistic and more things are realistic, just a thought to consider.
