Cyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother’s plane was shot down over the skies of the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident; and his father’s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest.

I don't understand the ending(s): for either Cyrus and Zee, OR what the last sentence is about.

wtf was the ending about?
I liked much of the book, but the ending(s) mystified me.

Brooke wants. She isn’t in need, but there are things she wants. A sense of purpose, for instance. She wants to make a difference in the world, to impress her mother along the way, to spend time with friends and secure her independence. Her job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could help her achieve many of these goals. It may inspire new desires as well: proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative. What is money, really, but a kind of belief?

Leave the World Behind was so haunting. I was looking forward to this new book, but there was nothing that I liked about it. Not a single likable or sympathetic character. It makes me think back to LTWB. Were there sympathetic characters in that book? Maybe not. But, the plot was intriguing enough to carry the book along and imagine how I would react in their situation. I could not relate to a single person in Entitlement, and that made it hard to enjoy.

a fatal flaw

The writing was quite good and the overall concept could have been interesting, but it's hard to enjoy a novel that doesn't have a single likable character in it.

The narrators turned a great book into an epic listen. I just finished listening and am now going to listen to the first chapters again.
