I couldn't agree more. I HATE wasting my time on a book or movie with a sad ending. Some people like the surprise element, but not me. Life is full of enough surprises. Give me a happy ending!
I love the happy ending too.
What I hate, though, is the predictable ending. Yes the boy should get the girl, the bad guy should get caught, but make me work for it. I hate being spoon fed what I already know will happen.
And, for your published girls that aren't waiting to make sure you get the early bird session and the perfect paid critique, I wish you a happy day as I sit glued to my computer hitting refresh every thrity seconds. There's another benefit to being on your side of the fence!
the only time i don't mind the surprise element is in a john grisham novel. the ending to his books are NEVER what i expect, yet totally make sense.
but gimme a happily ever after any day - i'm a sucker for reading the last page of a book when only halfway thru and i tell ya, if i don't like the ending, the book gets put down...
I hate when a book or movie has me walking around the house going, what??? And don't give me those endings that I'm supposed to just guess what happened.
Like the show Without a Trace a couple weeks ago. It ends with one child is dead and one child is alive. Okay, which child. I don't want to wonder. LOL.
I agree with you there! Happy endings are MUCH BETTER!

I feel so let down when a book -- or movie even -- has a tragic end. I understand their attempt at realism, but hey...the rest of us live in fantasyland for a very good reason. LOL.
I'm with you! In fact recently I read a book where the ending was so disappointing, I won't read the author anymore. I can happily say it wasn't you! :o))
Denise i do it all the time... i'm pathetic i know but sometimes i just can't help myself! coz i just can't read fast enough to satisfy my curiosity! lol!!!
I will usually avoid books and movies where I know the ending is sad, like Braveheart, Forrest Gump, Shindler's List--you name it. Yes, I'm a neanderthal because I have avoided some "classics" or "literary" books and movies, but they can kiss my grits. They don't have to live with me for the DAYS after a sad-ending book, with me being highly emotional and weepy and impossible to live with.

I agree. I want happy..happy happy..call be delusion..whatever...I hated Message In a Bottle because it ended WRONG! Nick Sparks says (you can read it on his website) that he purposely left Jamie's death or not up to the reader in A walk to remember because he didn't want any more scary letters from disappointed readers! LOL
