I think the ending of this book is not bad, but personally I would prefer happy ending. I didn't expect the happy ending though because the main atmosphere of this book naturally led me to predict that it would be such a sad ending; maybe Olivia dies or whatever. However, honestly this ending is not bad, or it is good. As we were expecting Lorenzo's personal growth, this ending was perfect because he accomplished it. Also, it could be interpreted as many ways, which is open-ended. Someone mentioned the comparison between 'Pobby and Dingan' and this book, and because of the ending, these books could be similar. Both book's girls are died and boys learn something.
