A book and Its End

The aspect of a book that is most sought out by me as a reader is its ending. It is the last source of information the reader is given on the characters they have come to love and have created bonds with. It is the last string of hope the author can give the readers that all ends well. The ending is what remains with me for years to come about the book. Even though I treasure endings, it deeply saddens me to finish a book. I am not the reader who picks up a book and flips it to the last page and am done. I enjoy a book to its fullest by sequentially flipping every page and absorbing all the information. In this process, I tend to not only fall in love with the propanagist but with a few others along the way. It maybe a character with just couple of funny dialogues, it maybe an  interesting personality that the author has not given much importance to or it maybe even well be the villian. So an appropriate ending deemed acceptable by me for each and everyone of the characters is what I look forward to most in a book. That doesnt mean that all books have to end with a 'happily ever after', it is just that every book need to be complete and everyone deserves the best ending. For example take Harry Potter, children around the world grew up with the characters and considered Voldemort as the legendary villian of all times. Everyone including I knew that to end the story in the seventh book he was going to die. It was a given but the manner in which he was going to die was what one looked forward to most in a book and this was what that made me join the Anti-Potter club. It is just ridiculous how the legendary villian died by his curse back firing on him. Pathetic I say. While the rest of the fans world wide rejoiced his death, not worrying about the unfair way he had been killed, I sat there writing a complaint letter to J.K.Rowling. LOL. Jokes. I had not yet become that paranoid but an author to me is not one who knows how to write a story but a person who knows how to end it. And to take such claims of being a good author there is only one soul that exists and that is Mr.R.K.Narayan. He was a man who knew how to begin a story and end it. I would like to raise a toast to the man who has made me laugh the most and cry the most. To the man who has made me fall in love with books, I hope to dedicate a story to you in the near future.
