具体描述
Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is in middle age. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove. The Sense of an Ending is the story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past. Laced with trademark precision, dexterity and insight, it is the work of one of the world's most distinguished writers.

读后感
对于英国作家朱利安·巴恩斯(Julian Barnes)而言，2011年是收获颇丰的一年。他先是荣获了具有终身奖性质的“大卫·柯恩英国文学奖”，而后又凭借小说《终结感》(The Sense of an Ending)成功捧得布克奖。这部小说在市场上也有不俗的成绩，在英国问世的最初两个月间，就已经创下...
评分“当你年轻的时候，你觉得你可以预料岁月可能带来的痛和凄凉。你想像自己孤身一人，离了婚，寡居；孩子们长大后离你而去，朋友们逐渐死去。你想像自己失去了地位，失去了欲望——以及欲望的能力。你可能会进而考虑自己朝死亡而去，无论你能唤来多少陪伴，这过程也只能独自...

评分刊于《经观书评》 “过去永远不会死，它甚至还没有过去。”美国小说家威廉·福克纳在《修女安魂曲》里的这句经常被引用的名言在朱利安·巴恩斯获得2011年布克奖的小说《终结的感觉》里找到了回应。这部200页都不到的短小作品远比它看上去有份量。《终结的感觉》是对时间（主...
用户评价
audiobook读的超棒！原以为是一出闹剧，到最后发现是一场悲剧。彻彻底底的悲剧。关于历史的定义，不可信的记忆，所留下的记录，当事人的心态。你觉得自己很成熟，却只是选择避免受伤，把这称为生存本能，不去考虑年轻时一切的可能性。你淋花，交税，认真过日子，年迈七十，到底错过了什么。听开头的时候还以为又是那种无病呻吟的书，结果却写得这么好。
评分论记忆之不可信
评分这书的语气各种反思戏谑自嘲书卷气都特别typically“老年人”，很有意思。整本书读起来也很舒服
评分4.5 stars. Barnes is very skillful. It's a thriller and memoir told by an unreliable narrator. A cautionary tale of how history or memory can be deceiving. Superb storytelling and structure. I don't quite like the bleakness though, and being led by Barnes to turn the pages compulsively like a donkey being teased with a carrot.
评分前面满满的格调被最后的狗血真相给毁了。
