I can honesly say I hate the ending of the book. It was all so confusing! I couldn't tell if Cameron died or went to Heaven or what really happened to him. Or if he was even cured! Throughout the book, Cameron kept having flashbacks to while he was in the hospital, but the way they were described was like it was all happening right then, and the journey was a dream. Or the hospital was a dream. I didn't understand it.
If I could meet Libba Bray, it would probably be in a parallel universe where there is a huge field of tall grass and giant wishing tree nearby like in one of the scenes from Going Bovine. Before I asked anything, I'd make a wish that she'd answer all of my questions honestly.
This is a short list of questions I would ask.
1. Why did the book end the way it did? What was the meaning behind it?
2. What were the flash-backs? Were they even flash-backs?
3. What happened to Cameron?
4. Did he live with Dulcie (the angel) forever after that?
5. What about Gonzo? Where did he end up?
I'd hope that she'd answer in a way that would make me happy. Like, "Of course no one died, silly!" And "The whole journey was a dream. Even Dulcie and Balder, sadly. But in the end, everyone lived happily ever after!"
But I know that most novels don't end that way. Including this one. Even though I'm not exactly sure how it did end...
As for a reccomendation, I would reccomend this to anyone. Or mostly anyone. The would be rated "R" for strong language, but other than that, scenarios were appropriate. Except for the occasional drug and alcohol references. So, any high school student would be able to read this. It was funny and witty, but also sent a powerful message.
