BooksWe love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

Agreed.I guess I could've worded myself better. It was an overlong depressing ending, but I got the feeling that it was meant to be, and I was meant to hate it.
It could certainly make you resolve not to waste your life.

No,no, noYou've misunderstood, or I've not been clear, I loved the last 250 or so pages, it was the first quarter-ish of the book that I struggled through.

Haha! Shit, it seems I'm *really* struggling this morning.I too found it to be a bit of a drag in the beginning, but the Mrs told me to plug on, and that it was worth it, so I did. Then it hooked me and I loved it, but after the main plot had wound up and the endgame was playing out (trying not to leave spoilers here!) it left me in a very real funk of depression; I'd lived these characters lives to such an extent that when things didn't work out the way they wanted I felt bad for them.
I liked the ending, and I loved the book, but I really didn't like the ending, despite the fact that I liked it. Or something.
I didn't hate it in a "this is a bad book" kind of way, but in a "bloody bastard nasty author" kind of way.
