SO MAD. I read a book last year or the year before that I had been eagerly awaiting an ARC of and omg it was SO GOOD until the ending when it sucked horrifically and now I am afraid to read anything else by the author even though her writing is fairly good just because the ending ruined the book THAT MUCH.

Bad endings ruin the whole thing. I can’t forgive rushed or illogical endings. Or no real resolution at all! Ugh it’s the worst

Hated the ending of the last book in the Divergent Series. Can’t believe I struggled through 3 books just to get to a crap ending?

Was absolutely destroyed by one. It was a definite 10* read, all the way to the last chapter which was devastating as instead of ending (and no not a sequel or series) just left you with an unanswered question. I don’t mind a cliff hanger on a series, but for a debut book that just leaves me hanging…well, I will never read this author again.

Don’t get mad, just get even. Write your own ending to it and send it to the author . . . with a picture of yourself sticking your tongue out 😉

What constitutes a bad ending for you? I didn’t find the ending to ‘The Mockingjay’ particularly satisfying. When the author rushes to finish the book and doesn’t give enough attention to wrapping up the storyline.

I find that the final books of a series tend to feel rushed most of the time. It’s not something I’m fond of but I’ve learned to live with because I love reading series.

Donna

Completely agree about Mockingjay! Katniss SLEPT or was in a coma through her trial and wakes up to learn the outcome? How lazy is that???

At least it didn’t ruin the entire series for me, as sometimes happens.

What if the book suddenly ended shitty in the middle of the book, with 100 blank pages at the end? Then it would be even more unexpected.
