One Day..

One Day, number one selling book in the UK at some point and, for the most part thoroughly deserving, but the ending...oh the ending. i have read bad books before with awful endings and, whilst being annoyed, I've understood some of the ideas behind it, but the ending to this book is awful! Its not a bad book, in fact up until page 385 i couldn't put it down! but the ending, "Emma Mayhew was dead", that, that is not what I would refer to  an ending as, its called a cop-out. when my aunty was little she used to end stories as "and they went to the woods and were deaded" , she was 7 and didn't want to miss 'play time', the man who wrote this is an adult, so why? why end a book in a way that does not leave you happy, destroys all sense of joy an accomplishment for completing the read and replaces it with a melancholic hum, its like going to see the Beatles perform live (with 2 having been brought back from beyond the grave) and seeing scouting for girls, whilst i LOVE scouting for girls, its not quite the same, and that is why, i advise you read one day, but before you start go straight to page 385 and rip it out! doing this will ensure the book is not ruined by a rather awful bit of literature.
