I was caught off guard by the ending. I didn't anticipate it unfolding as it did, and I was truly astonished when I discovered what happened with Freddie and what Spradlin managed to achieve.

The ending didn't surprise me, it was obviously what I expected to happen. I was hoping that Freddie would be found at the end, and the author didn't disappoint.

The novel was excellent, however I felt that it ended too quickly. Before everything ended, I wish he had spoken with Freddie. Further details regarding what transpired and his subsequent recovery would have been interesting to me. I wasn’t too surprised that he discovered him; I just figured he wouldn't publish a book about finding a dead guy.

I liked the happy ending. I felt so much for Mrs Nachman when she was employing Spradlin's help so I liked that her husband was alive at the end.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Freddie was found so quickly. I had anticipated a more extended search. The ending was both unexpected and satisfying. I didn't see Freddie's survival coming, and it added a powerful layer to the narrative.

I was completely taken by surprise by the ending of the book. Despite approaching it with an open mind, I was shocked by the unexpected twists, especially Spradlin’s achievements and the revelation about Freddie. Nigeria from what I have heard is kind of dangerous so I was relieved to see Freddie was still alive and kicking.

I like this book very much but for me the conclusion was very unexpected I wanted him sit and talk with Freddie before that. In my opinion, I wish that its providence on him and what became of him in the aftermath of this incident had been disclosed. Therefore, I thought he would not write a book about looking for a deceased individual, and so I was not shocked that he did find him the issue that left me astonished was that it took him such a short-period of time to do so.

I was for sure certain Freddie wouldn't make it, but given the turn of events it was to my surprise he did.

The book was a real shocker, i didn't expect such turn of events, it was very unexpected, with the way Nigeria was portrayed while reading, one would have been certain that Freddie wouldn't make it.

The book Quest: Finding Freddie by Thomas Richard Spradlin is really good. It has an exciting story with a happy ending, but there are surprising twists, like Spradlin's achievements and the shocking truth about Freddie, that surprised the author.

I didn’t come surprised that Freddie was found, I expected it. But the depths of how he was going to be found and the condition of which he would be in was unknown to me. In general, I anticipated it to be some happy ending book.
