I don't know why, but I've always been extremely picky about the way books end (especially if they're series endings.)

Recently I read Maximum Ride and the Kane Series and I was disappointed by the endings of both.
I don't know why I'm so picky. D:

Who else experiences this?

Most of the time I do enjoy the endings of books. (If it's a series ending and I don't want it to end yet, I usually get upset, but that's different.) Do you think it's the way it's worded, or just the way it end, like in a certain situation? Sometimes one sentence can ruin a whole book.

The ending was a little dissapointing I kinda expected it to be better, but there is a nother maximum ride book coming out like this year and it's called Nevermore. So there is a chance of redemtion.

Nevermore already came out - that's the book I was referring to.

I just think I don't like endings where suddenly everything is hunky-dory.

Wait...they still make books that end eek
Sorry, I guess i'm just caught up in all these series that never seem to end sad

I am slightly picky though.
I don't like reading books that have tragic endings. For me, a little bit of sad is okay, but when I find out like everyone died and the main character (or who ever might be left) is just struggling to get by with what they have left... I feel as if I've wasted my time. xp

I really just hate it when I'm reading a book
and it suddenly drops off. Then I realize I
have to wait like five months until the next
one in the series comes out. crying

I always seem to pick the books that turn into
a series. sweatdrop

Me too.
I always seem to choose books that are/were parts of a series.
Then I feel as if I need to finish the book series.
(I've never been the kind of person to drop a book or series. No matter how much I hate it.)

Though I have quit reading one book..
That was War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
It was painfully boring.
I just couldn't do it. [x

Oh, man, I started read that last Winter.
I was thinking "I read too much crap, I'll read something intellectual for once."
I ended up finishing it and liking it, but aargh it actually took me two and a half months just because I kept dropping it.

When it comes to endings, I'm not really picky. The only thing I hate is when books in a series end on cliffhangers, especially when the next one isn't coming out for a while.
