Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize
By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, The Sense of an Ending extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling Arthur & George and continued with Nothing to Be Frightened Of and, most recently, Pulse.
This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he’d left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he’d understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, The Sense of an Ending is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes’s oeuvre.

有很多反思性的东西在里面。需要集中精力才能跟上作者在表达什么。情节性不强，但值得回过头再去仔细地读。
评分重读
评分语言不错，叙事抓人，但格局略小（导致我电影不想看了）。把一个度过平庸人生的老年人的心理描写得很生动，和生命中两个女人的互动写得好精彩，男人啊，怎么一把年纪还能这么幼稚？结局震惊，但是太过戏剧化以至于影响了我对此书的评价。
评分听闻改编成电影了于是把这本呆在我长长长长的待读列表许久的书借来看了。读了几十页我就有点后悔，这可能是一本获奖的流水账，撑过去到后面突然exciting起来（rollercoaster indeed）（当然聪明的读者已经发现了什么）。作为一个unreliable narrator来说tony真的是太average了（therefore relatable）但又有点说不上来的可爱。总的来讲是比较有意思但不是很有意思的小说。另外我要质问一下作者为什么要abuse “corroboration”……翻两页就能碰见强行背单词orz
评分Emmm…… 文字比较平实，容易读，有点絮絮叨叨，更多像是在灌鸡汤，格局很小，想写人生可是写得不是很合我心意。结局狗血。
