I just finished reading the Cement Garden, and was wondering what those of you who read it thought of the ending? What do you think happened after the police came? Would it have been different if the children had let Derek into their life and not excluded him about their mother's body through telling him that it was a dead dog? Does this show that children truly cannot survive on their own without parents? Also, did anyone think that Tom might have been gay, with the constant playing dress up and mimicking relationships with his friend? Or was it just a cry for attention, like the baby thing towards the end. I'm curious to hear what everyone else thought.
