Books and Their Annoying Endings.

At this point in my academic life I have read a LOT of books.  I recently just finished the newest book in a series I am currently reading and I seriously want to rip up the book and punch it's author in the face because of the way it ended.  I would boycott the rest of this series but I need to know what happens after this unfortunate ending.  Besides my raging anger toward the ending of this book, I noticed that the short stories that we read this past unit in English ending similarly like this book.

We read literary fiction in English and literary authors are known to have abrupt endings that leave people confused and aggravated the everything wasn't wrapped up.  Unfortunately unlike a series, short stories don't continue their stories.  They just end.  I also think that short stories don't connect with their readers as much as regular commercial fiction series do.  I personally find it hard to connect with some short stories because they are short and don't give their readers enough time or description of the characters for them to connect with the story or characters on a first read.  However, when reading the story two or three times, it becomes easier to connect with the stories even if they have abrupt and crappy endings.

I just found it very odd and interesting that I was able to connect commercial and literary fiction together.  They are similar in many ways but usually they are totally different from each other.  Unfortunately, the ending was what connected between the two.

I still want to punch Rick Riordan in the face.
