The end of WE

I have to admit that I was very let down by the ending.  I expected the revolution to succeed.  Instead, the rebellion is crushed to the point that it is impossible for them to come back.  The part of D-503 that told us the story was killed when he went through the operation.  Now that everyone in One State has no imagination, the Benefactor has complete control over them.

There were parts of this book that were inspiring to read.  Some parts of it made me believe that the rebellion was going to win because it was meant to be, or something like fate.  I also didn't like how it ends so anti-climacticltly.  I expected that those who were involved in the revolution would go down with a fight.  In a "Give me liberty or give me death," sort of way.

All in all it was still a pretty good book to read.  I just don't quite understand how this book is not considered to be a part of the canon of literature.
