Try reading this without reading the description or any reviews - Like I did

When this book appeared in Libby, I had no memory of why I had reserved it. But I was ready for a new book and started. Within pages, I was hooked.

I just adored the book and the narrator, Kaspar.

I logged in to give it a 5-star rating and that's when I read in the description that it's the last day of Kaspar's life. Why? Sure he's in dire shape at the end of the book, and because he's the narrator, I guess he couldn't say "and then I died." But still. If it's only in the blurb describing the book is that what really happened?

Anyway, I'm not happy that he apparently died and there won't be a sequel and adorable Kaspar didn't get to grow up. But I can't take off even half a star for it. The book is just too good.
