 I just got finished reading the book, all in all i was pretty much obsessed with it. one of the most suspenseful stories i have read and i didn't want to put it down. I'm glad i waited to read it,because it gave me a few extra days to think about my reading. I do feel like the ending of the book was very subtle and appropriate for the time period it was made for. some may not have liked it because Phyllis did deserve different treatment. those kids who where killed deserved justice. Lola's mother deserved justice and the other people that were at the mercy of Phyllis deserved justice. but she ended her own life just as she ended all those others.if not worse, the shark was worse. but they didn't go into the bloody details, just like when the killing of Mr.Nirdlinger actually took place, you knew what happened but it was spared of all the dirty details because the book is already as skuzzy and crooked as can be already. at first i was a little confused on what was happening at the ending but then the more i read the more it feel through. they killed them selfs, together, just as they had murdered, together. what i didnt understand was how would the man who sent them on this trip, mr.keys, know that they would have gone through with it ? how did he know they would want to be done with there lives? i guess he knew walter so well that he knew he was already dead inside. maybe it was the fact that the captin reconized him that sent him off the deep end . and phlissys obsessen with death is what sent her off as well.

 i do understand why the the screenwriters would what to change the ending. in away it did feel like there was something missing. i havnt seen the ending yet so i cant say much about it but i think maybe phyllis kills mr.huff and she gets thrown in the can !
