Well, I read the Greek translation of the book so this might have had an effect on my rating. I found it to be "inconsequential, irrelevant even to a certain extent. The characters I found to be unrelatable, the portrayal of fear both overly simplistic and exceptionally easy to overcome. The main character, a woman constraint by her own - not really excusable fears - who as it turns out really just wants a man around and not be alone - it almost reads as if she can only achieve the freedom she seeks through the existence of other people. I don't know... Wouldn't really recommend it.

Tragically underrated.
It helps you get a new perspective in life in the most gorgeous plot ever.
So,interesting that the writer is part of the narration.

“Not the End” by Odin Dupeyron is a philosophical novella written in a very engaging way, where the narrator becomes one of the main characters, and the so-called “fourth wall” is broken. The book reminds me a lot of “The Little Prince,” except instead of a prince, we have a princess, a dragon, and many other wonders. The English version of the book is written in very accessible language, making the reading smooth and enjoyable.


„Not the End” autorstwa Odina Dupeyrona to powiastka filozoficzna napisana w bardzo interesujący sposób, w której narrator staje się jednym z głównych bohaterów, a granica między światem fikcji a rzeczywistością jest zacierana – jest to typowy przykład tzw. „czwartej ściany”. Książka przypomina mi „Małego Księcia”, z tą różnicą, że zamiast księcia mamy księżniczkę, smoka i wiele innych niezwykłych postaci. Wersja angielska książki napisana jest bardzo przystępnym językiem, co sprawia, że lektura jest płynna i przyjemna.
