Julian Barnes and the Sense of an ending...


 Tired of all stereotypical novels ? Then its time for you all to burn all your novels and start a new life.. a new life which begins with the sense of an ending..! Though the title claims to be an ending..its not after all an ending.. the book leaves you spellbound and ignites all possible senses on your body and leaves you thinking...about your past..present and what would become of your future..? A masterpiece in 150 pages, now that's quite hard to create and that's exactly why I believe it had been awarded the MAN Booker price for the year 2011. It details the mischievousness of the childhood, the cruelty of the teenage, seriousness of the adulthood and finally the sense of guilt and redemption of the oldage. One novel which will urge you to read and re-read because it's not an ending...it's a beginning of great unrest...
