The ending is just as important so that it is worthy of reading the entire tale, which builds up to this climatic finish. I hate endings that are less brilliant and leave you feeling quite deflated - such as once when i read an entire trilogy that ultimately led up to the final moment, but when i got to the conclusion it was not as groundbreaking & earth shattering as i had imagined it to be with all the build-up.

However, some people aren't like me and they stop reading when things start getting slow or starts to fizzle out. Then sometimes I have the same problem where the book starts out frackin awesome but then it starts to rush into an ending that leaves me sitting there looking at the book like "what the frack!". I have to say that is what annoys me the most.Twisted Pixie Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101074919232594829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733464801217135988.post-48355612420203588382012-06-22T23:00:50.628-05:002012-06-22T23:00:50.628-05:00Jessi, great comment!

I know, there's something very difficult about the old adage, start a book in the middle.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767523797495694824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733464801217135988.post-70882128100655429912012-06-22T20:01:39.376-05:002012-06-22T20:01:39.376-05:00I have the same problem with some beginnings.

Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel falls solidly into the category of really slow, iffy beginnings, but I ultimately loved the book and can't wait for the sequel. :) She commented on my review (actually on Twitter) "Thanks for sticking with it! Beginnings are my weakness." I guess it's just hard to know where to start and what to include.JessiMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620317510135783572noreply@blogger.com
