What makes you think it was foreshadowed? Been awhile since I've read it but I remember it being really out of the blue. for the aliens, it was kinda outta the blue, although slightly alluded to. It's more the shame aspect, and begging aspect that is more prevalent. You have Barbie always thinking back to the time he was ashamed in Iraq. You have Sanders and the other council woman, Andrea, who are ashamed of their life, and their drug problem respectively. You constantly have people begging to get out of the situation they're in (Angie at the beginning when she's killed by Junior, the girl who's raped and has the kid with Phil Bushy, etc etc etc). Throughout the novel, it seems like a massive theme, ~~to be ashamed and to beg~~ that the ending made sense. Once again, it did to me atleast. I've also read the damn book like 5 times, so it was easier to pick up on during the second and third readings. --- I wrote a horror short story collection.

Been awhile since I've read it but I remember it being really out of the blue.</quote> for the aliens, it was kinda outta the blue, although slightly alluded to. It's more the shame aspect, and begging aspect that is more prevalent. You have Barbie always thinking back to the time he was ashamed in Iraq. You have Sanders and the other council woman, Andrea, who are ashamed of their life, and their drug problem respectively. You constantly have people begging to get out of the situation they're in (Angie at the beginning when she's killed by Junior, the girl who's raped and has the kid with Phil Bushy, etc etc etc). Throughout the novel, it seems like a massive theme, to be ashamed and to beg that the ending made sense. Once again, it did to me atleast. I've also read the damn book like 5 times, so it was easier to pick up on during the second and third readings.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I enjoyed the ending. He was obviously foreshadowing it the whole book. It didn't feel like he ran out of space in his brain and came up with the first thing he thought up. That's just me, though.
