Did the book end satifactory?

Julia awoke at 7:15 the following morning, surprised by how good she felt. Not drinking was really refreshing. During her shower, she slowly remembered the previous night's howling. After dressing and applying mascara, she walked out behind the apartment and found the corpse of a mutilated cat, beaten with a hammer and ripped to shreds. Its intestines had been pulled from its guts with a stick, and the neck of a beer bottle was jammed into its rectum. The cat's eyes were wide open and its jaws were locked; its tongue had been riped out with a pliers (Klosterman).

So this book is getting turning into something kind of messed up. I can't really figure out why its doing this. The beginning of the book and still a majority of it is still normal but every couple of pages something like this happens. I guess the only reason I chose this was because I have no idea why the book is doing this. It's just a normal small rural town but suddenly all this crazy stuff is happening. Something gruesome has happened to both Mitch and Julia so I guess Horace is next?

Truthfully, I have not finished my book. I won't give you excesses. And I'm going to grab a passage form the end of the book to use, but I will tell you this; I can tell from where I am that this book will end satisfactory. All of the characters are very well thought out. They all share the same unique qualities that no one else in owl shares but the irony about this is that these three characters do not know one another. They have all heard of each other, of course, because they like in a extremely small town in the midwest. They all represent each age group but you don't have to be in that certain group to be able to relate the all the characters. I will admit that Mitch, the teenage, is my favorite but I don't think that is because I am the same age as him. I've been doing something that I've never done before with a book, which is that I am not looking ahead at all. That is why I am not using a passage from later on in the book. Every book I have ever read I always see how many pages there are, I calculate what percentage of the book I have already read and how much more I have to go and I also determine how many pages I should read a night in order to finish the book as soon as possible. But with this book I have done none of this and it has made it quite a bit more enjoyable. I will admit that I have been going at a rather leasherly pace but I think that is because I just don't really have time to sit down and read, because every time I do read I read a least 30 pages. So to coclude, I have not finished the book yet but I can tell from what I have gotten to so far that I will most deffinately enjoy the ending. Whenever it is that I get to it.
