I have
noticed recently that every book I read has a bad ending. Bad because I was not
ready for it to end, bad because I didn’t like what happened on the last page,
or bad because, well it was bad.
I love books
that leave me wanting more, not sure if I will ever read one that is so
satisfying when I finish I will say, “perfect.” This would be a book that ended
when it should, and everything that should happen did – bad guys meet bad
endings and good people have good endings. And a book that does not leave me,
the reader, with false hopes for a sequel.
The books
that really drive me crazy – books that just end. You turn the page and it is
the last page, you read it and say something like HUA. You’re wondering, what happened to those
other guys, or where was that place, or other questions leaving the reader in
the dark. This may be what happens when as my wife says, “the writer ran out of
words.”
