It's been many years since I read this book, but I remember that the ending was quite... special. I think a lot of people felt that it was supposed to be some religious imagery in it, so maybe it was meant to be taken seriously? Y'know, as opposed to being a dying man's dreams (which was something I personally felt was more plausible).

Of course it was! I'll never let my 13 year old past self believe anything else either.

I honestly think it was real. So much resurrection imagery can't be not on purpose. I wonder why the movie changed the ending.

Secret 10 - Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley (warning, there might be spoilers in the comments)

[Picture is the cover of the book "Dream Boy, a novel" by Jim Grimsley. It has a white background, and then in the middle, taking up most of the space, a black square with gray scratches over it and over some of the white background, and then a picture of a statue of an angel somewhere with many trees surrounding it, maybe a park? In the black square are the words: "A novel of uncommon grace, full of suspense, violence and romance . . . triumphant." -- Renee Graham, The Boston Globe. Below the author's name is "Author of Winter Birds and My Growning" (?)]

I want to believe the ending is real. It's too damn depressing if it's not.

Secret because: It's obviously not and I feel really lame for wanting to believe otherwise.

I thought it was real? D: Not even in a wishful way, I just really thought it was real. He was resurrected. I remember thinking it was really beautiful how it went that way, and it seemed to fit the eerie atmosphere of the story. I know it can be interpreted as ambiguous with rationally it being his dying thoughts or something, but I think the story is much more powerful if the resurrection is real.

I contacted the author about this book about a million years ago for a paper I was writing in college.

He said most of the book is intentionally ambiguous...
