Promises, Promises

Naos

So I'm studying over here in Spain.
I enjoy reading and was getting bored one day when I realised that 2 girls staying over(dif univeristy in spain) had left a book in english, the aforementioned Promises, Promises.
As I have not read for enjoyment in a few months I devoured the book.
Now its a girl book, I am male so I did recieve a few slaggings, and had to fold it over (cover to cover backwards) while reading in public on tram so that the general spanish public could not see the flamboyant colours and 2 rings on the cover.

Anyway, I finished the book and the last paragraph ends with

To be continued

Has to be without a doubt the most annoying thing that has happened to me while reading...

Any similar scenarios, or am I the only one..

It's the literary equivilant to a book ending with "and then I woke up and realised it had just been a dream". Although to be fair Joyce could probably get away with it..


It is annoying though. I wouldn't let/would ignore people slag you for reading a book with a flamboyant cover though. What a person reads is their own business really.

Nesf: Are you following me ?? heheh
I didnt care, I quite openly said the book was good.
It was good, got into it and was all "omfg, that chris is such a bastard, how can he leave ellen when shes pregnant, will they ever marry?" etc. (hehe)

Tristam: Yeah it was good, worth a read, chick book but still, different.

Electichoney: It can be your mission! Find out. It didnt mention one at the back of the book!

I wasn't saying the book was bad, just thats it's a very bad way to end a book. There should be some loose ends running to the next book in the series, but ending it on "to be continued" is bad taste imo.

Then again I'm a bit snobbish

I can't believe I did this but it's a friday night, I'm at home on the net & the worse thing? I'm half-watching "Celebrity Love Island" so what the hell!

Apparantly there are 20 books in the series - there are 20 books in the series and Promises Promises has a load of five star ratings, so it must be good!

Er..
No that aint it but thanks for trying!
Was just thinking to self, "Who are Miguel and Leah?" hehe

Oh well, it sounded similar!!!
I guess you'll never know about Ellen and Chris... *sniff*
