Disappointing Novel

At the beginning of this novel I had no idea 
The hero would betray the heroine, 
That is not my favorite plot,
matter of fact, it is now my least favorite.

The cover and the synopsis were fastidiously written.
Neither gave this away. I had no idea it was happening.
Two thirds of the way through I think the author thought
Damn! This has to end somehow, but how?

The next time I see this author’s name I will not
take any trouble to buy her book, as a matter of fact,
I will boycott it, thanks to this catastrophe.
Wait a second. She is turning things around again.
More later, I only have two chapters left to go.

Hello, Muddah; Hello, Faddah. Here I am at Camp Granada. Camp is very entertaining; and we'd even have some fun if it stopped raining... Take me home; I hate Granada... Wait a minute. It stopped raining. Guys are swimming; guys are sailing... Muddah, Faddah, kindly disregard this letter!! ~ Alan Sherman

Yes, I have read books like that and made similar vows. But...remember, reading is fundamental!
