Reader Rabbit Toward the end of a book, we tend to speed up, in anticipation of the climatic finish. Yet sadly, the build-up... was the part we savored, on the perfect path to the right... final, and everlasting word(s). The beginning.

I do love when a story comes together. Nothing worse than a disappointing ending after the delight of a good premise. Have a great day.

Ann, So special the book that holds attention long after the read. And too the dedicated poet who dined and dreamed on every word. -Richard

I am almost always disappointed in the ending. Books end abruptly, and the loose ends are not always tied, so I can readily relate to this Ann.
