Plenty of theories flying around about what the ending means, and what the whole story actually represents. But for me, I'm wrestling with one thing above all:

How exactly is Ryan Mitchell significant? For, his is the mantra very early on to keep Eric safe. Yet, in the article reporting Eric's demise, Ryan Mitchell is the police psychologist. Is the story actually back to front, like Memento?

I enjoyed the rollercoaster ride through reading the book, and loved the links and allusions to films etc., but I'm insufficiently well read to pick up on things I have seen commented on such as the Trey Fidorous - Tryphiodorus connection (see other posts). And the ending left me a little cold/unsatisfied - with a strange reflection of Eric's feelings of something significant I had subconsciously picked up from the book, but couldn't pin down.

And yet here I am posting about it - hmm.
