COMMUNITY REVIEWS

What the abrupt ending?! submitted by articia on December 5, 2008, 7:38pm I loved this book. It was entertaining, well written, funny, sad, cute, and it all came crashing down with what seemed to be a 3 line wrap up passed off as some sort of ending.
<br><br>
I was slightly disappointed when this fantastic story (however unrealistic it was) was "ended" on the last page with a sentence or two that could have easily been replaced with "and they lived happily ever after, the end" or even "fin" and it would have been no worse than the real ending. *sigh* I'd still suggest this read to anybody who doesn't take life too seriously...or maybe anybody who does take it too seriously...but not to those who have jsut the right amount of seriousness about life...it won't work for them.
