Because of how sensitive I am emotionally, I need spoilers for tv and movies. I don't look them up for books online but I do have a way of getting a spoiler for the books. hehehe... I read the last few pages of the last chapter, if I want to know if the intensity in the book will die down and get better. If it does not let me know, it has me reading further up that last chapter. It has helped me decide at the bookstore if I want to actually buy that book or not. I only do that though if the outside cover text, inside cover text, first chapter or pre-story summary do not clue me in about if the intensity the outside or inside cover text tells or hints at will be okay or if there's a stressful buildup between characters in the first few chapters that I just have to know if there's a resolve to. You know?
