The ending of the novel is intense. It wraps up the plot in a way that you might not have predicted at the beginning. It shows how even the best-laid plans can go horribly wrong and has a bit of a moral lesson hidden within.
The ending of 'A Simple Plan' is both surprising and somewhat tragic. The main characters' decisions lead to unforeseen consequences that have a lasting impact. It really makes you question human nature and the choices we make.
