I'm read through Breaking Dawn and finnished it last night, but half way through it I realized how much I hate reading the last book of a series. Am I afraid of THE END? I think not, I would through myself away to save a friend. Yesterday the thought came back into my mind and I had talked about it for a little bit with a friend and she pointed out how much I didn't like reading Deathly Hollows. Now that I'm thinking about it, I can't read Return of the King any more let alone watch the movie. And I cannot start the thirteenth book of A Series of Unfortunate Events. So why can't I like these and just let the series end? I mean if it's a single book I can get through it easily. Is it the series that makes me feel like this, or does it just feel like the writers are rushed? Let's see, obviously Joanne Rowling was rushed for the seventh book, I know I was one of the many people awaiting impatanttiontly for her book to come out. What about Ms. Meyer? As I finished it, it seems to be going slower, and almost makes a couple paragraphs on fog seem exciting. And the end seemed a little not the end of a series, but sure enough the famous words are printed on the next page. But don't get me wrong here I'm a fan of both. Now The Series of Unfortunate Events, why didn't he take the thirteen books and condense them into less than thirteen books, and just put thirteen parts? And let’s just say in three parts. I liked the way he made you think, but I want to know how many people actually read the page in the first book full of the word 'the'? And the fact that the thirteenth book has fourteen chapters pulls me away from reading it even more. Lord of the Rings Return of the King. I'll admit the reason I cannot read the whole of this book lies in the shadows of book five, where it describes Aragon's journey to his rightful thrown. GET GULLOM AND THE ONE RING INTO THE FIREY PIT OF MOUNT DOOM ALREADY! I've read it through all the way once and defiantly liked the scoring of the Shire so much better than the description of the king’s return to power. However as I’ve said before single books are very good at ending at the end. Take Dragon’s Bait for example. The author gives us a want for more but states on her website that imagination is the best carrier for sequels. That’s not my only reason there’s more, but I’m out of time to rant so thanks for reading it.
