Alright! Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee & Alison Can Read and is a way for book bloggers to get to know each other better. Just go to their pages and follow the directions, and you'll be making some new friends!
Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? And, why?
A. Change a book, eh? Well, there are some books that had these awful endings where somebody important dies and it's really upsetting. I'm not going to say which though because I do not want to ruin a good book. Yes, I said Good Book. Because, despite my sadness, the books meant something outside of the sadness. Sometimes you wish you could rewrite things, but, for the most part, you can't help but want them to stay the same.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Other than the couple of books I talked about, I can't really think of many more endings I would change bc like you said, books are still telling valid stories even beyond the sadness over the endings!
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I agree with you. I usually appreciate the ending for what it is.

Oooh, you tease! I want to know what book you're talking about! But I can appreciate you wanting to avoid spoilers. I had to carefully word my answer.

lol I don't really mind if a main character dies. I think it depends on how well the author writes the situation. Whether or not it's only added for shock value.

ReplyDeleteI still love the book I chose, too, despite the ending.
ReplyDeleteEndings that we don't like suck! I hate when someone I like as a character dies, it's so annoying!

I think there are more books were I'd rather just ask the author not to kill off a loved character as opposed to wishing I could change the ending. Most endings I can live with, even when I don't want them to end, but character deaths really get me. =(

Yeah, I kind of wondered about spoiling the end of a book. And most of the time I'd rather books end the way they did. Like Breaking Dawn, a lot of people don't like that ending, but I was fine with it, because that seemed the way the author wanted to go, and it was her story, not mine. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week!
ReplyDeleteI like your refusal not to give away any spoilers Jess! I hate it when characters die in the end for no good reason as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend. Watching any GG?
LOL how cryptic is that answer! :) but I love it, and your blog. Happy Friday! am now a follower:)
ReplyDeleteThe Book Bluff
Oh my goodness, so many comments! I'm pretty sure I followed back and commented on all... hope I didn't miss any. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome for not sharing spoilers! I understand... although I have the tendency to spoil lots of things for myself by my blasted curiosity (*cough, Gossip Girl, cough*).
@ Lan: I finished Season 4! Right before I posted my Update Thursday yesterday. All set and ready to go for Season 5!!! :D (Now I want to start it all over again, lol, I'm having withdrawals)
