i have this habit of turning to the last pages of the book to see how the story ended. if it doesn't end in the manner i imagined it to be, i wouldnt continue reading it. do you do the same?

Hahah, I always read the last page or two, because I'm curious!! But I still end up reading the book, no matter what the ending is. I'm still intrigued by the story, because I don't know HOW it got to that ending! It makes me think a lot, too, about all the possibilities of arriving at that ending.

I don't do that. I want to read the whole story and wait until I reach the last page. I want the suspense of not knowing the end of the story until I reach the last page.

No, I never do because I don't try to second-guess the author. I don't read books just for how they turn out. A friendly note to a newbie. Posting duplicates is against the rules--changing the wording, and using the same topic. Two discussions about looking at the last page are duplicates. It's always a good idea to read and understand the guidelines before you start posting.

I never read the end of the book, that would spoil the surprise. It is always fun to see where the twists and turns of a plot end up.

Hello mylene!(",) How are you? Hope you are doing good. When I get bored on what I'm reading, yes, I do turn to the last page to see how the story will end.(",) If I already knew, I will not continue reading.(",) Most often, I read books which really interest me so that there's no need for me to look at the last page.(",) I guess, looking at the ending without starting reading the book spoils the fun. It's really nice to have some surprises. I like books which have different twists. It's more challenging to read books wherein in every turn/page, I don't know what will happen in the story.(",) Have a great day and happy posting to you!(",)

My! Am doing that also infact when I buy a book I read the last page first before I read the whole story. For the reason that I want to know if the ending is great or not. Though am going to read everything.

I do that too!!!! And my husband thinks that I am so weird because I do it. I normally get to about chapter 2 or 3 and then I flip to the end of the book and read the last paragraph. I still read the whole book though.
