Why should I finish?
Ever start a book that you cant put down? Of course you have. I have to may of times and have always found myself wanting not to finish. Not wanting the pages to end like a best friend you hope never moves away or a time in your youth you wish time could have stopped and you be happy to stay in that moment forever. You cant wait for the next chance you can pick it up and continue your adventure. You might even try to drive and read [not recommend by the way not from experience or anything, even walk and read is a challenge] An adventure you lose yourself in, you are completely in engaged with your character. The author has taking you away to his world his every word you carefully dicifer and every turn of the page you have to remember to take a deep breath before you drown in anticipation of whats to come. As your thoughts revolve around your heroine, you cant help put feel that this world and time you have engulf your self in cant end. But suddenly you find your self at the last chapter, every flip of the next page takes closer and closer to the end. You pause and remember all the challenges, mishaps and victories your character has endured. How you been there every step of the way asking why? and what the hell! Maybe even composing yourself after an experience that you closely relate to and hits a little to close to home, sometimes searching for the tattered and frayed pages, because you flung it out of sight in anger or disbelief. How dare it challenge you had what you feel and live by. Put you beg for more with every word you digest you become more famished. Knowing the end of the characters journey and authors natives are concluding,not wanting the experience to come to and end leaving you with an unbearable after taste, you pause....... asking yourself Why should I finish?

So did you finish? Ha Ha
AMEN! I just had this happen to me, it was almost heartbreaking! I wanted more...needed more, and with the last page it abruptly ended our 4 day affair.
Leaving me to feel scorned and tossed aside.
I LOVED the way you wrote this, it is worded perfectly for all of us book lovers out there...we feel your pain, we feel your pain!
