I read the novelization of the Red Riding Hood movie and the book ended abruptly with a page telling you that if you wanted to know how it actually ends you have to watch the movie or go to the website after the movie is released to read it. There was no warning that the book would do this and I was so annoyed that I literally threw the book and promised myself I would never watch the movie. I was so offended lol

Fortunately with videos on the web they say "Watch till the end!" so you know not to start.

Oh gosh. How long was the book? I would have been furious.

I think it was pretty short, to be fair, like a couple hundred pages. Thankfully I'd borrowed it from the library. I can't imagine being someone that actually paid to read a book with no ending lol

Actually a genius postmodern technique that illustrates how the stories never actually end. We'll carry them on in our minds and speculate our own ideas of what the ideal ending could've or should've been.

Yes, exactly!

Oh. Never mind.
