Books that have "unsatisfactory" endings

[emkana]

I finished "Notes on a scandal" today and really didn't want it to end, wanted to know what would happen to the characters.

I always find "Gone with the wind" really frustrating, too.
And "Pride and Prejudice".
I just get into the characters so much that it seems unbearable to have to leave them, never to find out about the rest of their lives.

It's even worse when there are "sequels" to the books - they never live up to the original and don't satisfy that "craving" at all.

Just finished JP's "Vanishing Acts" and v disappointed. I also felt let down by her Keeping Faith.

The only author I regularly read and have never felt let down by is Marian Keyes. I love her. I love her books & characters.

That's the one, sleepyjess.

I love, love, love the Corrections, I've just finished it again.....but it is sad..............I think you have to go back to the 19th century for satisfactory , resolute endings. I agree about brick lane though, and I also felt that with on beauty.

I was convinced that my book had some pages missing when I got to the end of "The Little Friend", I had to find someone else who had read it to confirm that it was supposed to just stop like that.
