If there is anything in this world that annoys me and makes me want to beat something to a nasty little pulp, Its got to be people who pick their feet and bad endings in a book/film.
I mean come ON people. You take all that time and effort to write a really good book then get bored at the end and think "well the reader wont know what happened but Hell I cant be arsed with this book anymore and my dead line is gaining fast" PFFT. You take a fantastic writer, Take one, Any will do, You have a fantastic story line, Terrific hero, Fabulous monsters, you go the the entire story keeping the reader completley enthralled to the very very end, And on the last page what do they do? They have the hero throw a sodding pig or something equally as pathetic at the monster and it vanishes into thin air never to be seen again and some silly girl falls at his feet promising him 67 kids and a house with a white picket fence and a golden lab. Yeah??? NOOOOO!!! Its irritating people, Not to mention the fact that because the ending is terrible you cant stop bloody thinking about it for weeks.
Well, I have just finished a book like that. The hero didnt throw a pig at the monster but he may as well have in my humble opinion. I am not saying that I could write a book any better but please, It cant be that hard to think of a good ending after writing the whole thing in the first place.
Rant over and I am not telling you which book it is either. Cos you will be expecting a bad ending and flicking through to the last page just to find out.
Arnt I wicked :) hehe
