Happily Ever After

     The eventual kiss, the killer's demise, the surprise when the frog turns out to be a Prince, and the bad boy/girl turned good, are some of the endings we all read and love in books.

     The ending of a book is as important as the beginning, but we all want different things from our literary experience. It could be that we want a little romance, justice to be done, or just a lovely warm feeling of contentment when we close over the cover.

     It's also possible that we want something from the end of a story that we believe for some reason, or another is not attainable in our own lives. Because after all in the real world, life doesn't always go the way we planned.

     We may vary our reading material, because we believe variety is the spice of life. Then there some of us who stick to reading only one genre solely for the reason that we can more, or less guarantee that we're going to get the ending we want. But I do think we all like to believe that in the end, we all live happily ever after.


     What kind of endings do you like best?
