Having put the real Dana and the phony Dana on a collision course, Boyle unfortunately bails on the reader at the last moment: Either he was unable to think of a plausible — or satisfying — ending, or he was in such a rush to finish his story that he simply tacked on the first scenario that came to mind. In any case, it's a sorry and pallid conclusion to what might have been one of this gifted writer’s more winning novels.
