this week i finished the book sold and the ending was very surprising to me i knew Lakshmi would eventually get out of the happiness house but the author left it so vague about some key details in my opinion

1. she didn't really specify where Lakshmi was going with the american there was some details like the shiny place and the place to go to get clean water and food or the place in the shiny box

2. she didn't tell us the readers what happened to the other girls like if the men found the or if they just stayed there alone

3. and she didn't tell us if Lakshmi ever found her family again or if they were okay

this was my opinion about the ending it could of been better with those details but overall the book was great and i enjoyed reading it i really like the author and i am looking forward to reading more of her books

my favorite passage of the book is when Lakshmi is going into the city to become a "maid" the way she describes it it so different then the way she was told how it looked the tone of the entire passage is grey the way she says thing like the city was not what she expected and shes almost disappointed and the whole city is on some kind of giant loop one example the roofs of the houses were not coated in gold they are just plain old stone roofs and the way she sees things when shes in the back of the truck is amazing to me just all she sees is repetition "in this hurry up swarming city".
