The ending of the book was unpredictable I thought. Charlie falling off the top of the stands was something that no one would have thought of. Then again he did have a condition in which made him forget who other people are, and where he is. Marcus attending his funeral and going back to the Popivich house showed a lot of respect. Lastly, Marcus doing what he did with Charlie and the friendship they had together I think wasn't a bad thing.
I completely agree with you. I also did not see that happening to Charlie and thought it was a nice twist to the end the book. I especially thought that it too was respectful for Marcus to go to the funeral especially since the last he attended was for his grandfather when he was 8 years old. It must of been hard for Marcus to attend since its not something that is easy for anyone to go to.
