There are certain expectations from certain types of books I suppose, I would always expect a romance book to have a happily ever after ending, and I expect crime novels to have an ending - not necessarily a good one, I expect characters to be vulnerable and know they might be killed off, I can even tolerate the killer getting away with it, but I expect an ending of sorts - I've been very annoyed lately with a couple of books that just stopped, clearly with some expectation of a sequel, but no ending or resolution. Grr.
I think I may know the SPN fiction, I think it's one I sat up all night reading!
I can understand the urge to peek, just to find out, similar to Christmas presents really, I can look at the box and imagine peeling back a little bit of paper and so on, but never ever ever do, 'cos I want the experience of opening it - and it's just the same with my books!
