emelee Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) What books would you say finished off too soon, that made you crave more in the sense that you didn Edited May 8, 2010 by Nollaig Added a spoiler tag :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnotreal Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Ooh, good thread! I think I may be alone on this one, but I thought Fahrenheit 451 ended too suddenly. It's like the story was going, going, going... and then it just sort of stopped. Amazing book, but I just felt like it was a bit cut off at the end.

chrysalis_stage Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Definitely The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber! I could have read alot more of The Road by Cormac McCarthy too, I was just getting into it when it ended faster than I would have liked. After Dark by Haruki Murakami was a short book and his books do leave things unanswered but that one in particular I wanted more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Pretty much all of Georgette Heyer's Regency novels - they only ever come together on the very last page, and it would be good to have at least a few pages for the loose ends to be tied up and the story be properly wrapped up (OH agrees!).

Heffalumpi Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The book that I have just finished, We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. There were so many more avenues for the characters to go down. I think that that was the point of where it ended but it could have gone on longer and I really wish that it had.

Christie Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Definitely The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber! I could have read alot more of The Road by Cormac McCarthy too, I was just getting into it when it ended faster than I would have liked. After Dark by Haruki Murakami was a short book and his books do leave things unanswered but that one in particular I wanted more. I felt the same about The Road! I thought that the book sped up and finshed too quickly in the end. I would have liked a little extra of this really good read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I recently read a couple of Alistar Reynolds books (and no neither were part of a series, so it wasn't that), but they both seem to end very abuptly. Jamaica Inn also suffers from the same problem, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Michel Faber's Crimson Petal and the White sprang to mind straight away, I did not want this book to end. The same goes for his follow up book The Apple, both leave you wanting so much more and lots of unanswered questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Gone with the Wind comes to mind, I would've loved to see if Scarlett still had a chance with Rhett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
