The ending of the book was very surprising. I thought that Sophie and Alberto were solely figments of Alberto Knag’s imagination, and therefore would never be able to escape. But to my surprise they ended up escaping during the chaos at the party, which was confusing to me. If Alberto Knag didn’t want them to escape then why did he give them the perfect get away? Also the things that happened at the party were all very strange especially Joanne’s behavior. I was really surprised to read that she was making out with some boy, and even more surprised that the parents and adults were cheering her on. It was actually really funny to envision this happening, because it’s just such a bizarre situation. The books end was really strange to me now that Sophie and Alberto are free, they can’t interact with the real world , which to me is worse then living in someone else’s world. At least in Alberto Knag’s world they could have friends, family and other human interactions but now that there in the “real world” they can’t be seen, or heard by other people except the other invisible people. I don’t agree with Alberto Knox when he says that they are now more real, because I think them being in the “real world” made them even more fake and imaginary.
