I ran out of cocaine, so this video was just what I needed. Thanks, Steve!

I knew The Delivery would be on this list! I wish you’d tell us the ending, I’ll never read it and I’ve been curious for years.
The worst ending of a book for me was The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay. It was so awful I haven’t been able to read anything else by him since then.

I read the title of this video and instantly said "Hannibal" and there it is, Steve agrees hahaha.

Surprised you didn't mention Cold Mountain in relation to The Odyssey, your opinion would no doubt have been interesting.

100% agree about Stephen King dropping the ball on his endings... Exceptions may be Carrie and The Shining.... other than that, for him, I love the RIDE he takes us on, so can often just accept the ending for what it is. 100% agree with you on Hannibal. The ending actually soured me on anything else Harris writes/had written oTHER than SotL and Red Dragon. The Odyssey, I didn't mind the war being thwarted, though the outing of the "traitors" and justice against them would've been nice. Usually I'm a "journey" person when it comes to books, often because even a "good" ending can be painfully anticlimactic. Never heard of The Delivery, but may one day pick it up just to experience the betrayal. But I don't get much time to read anymore so maybe won't waste time on it Thanks for all the breakdowns!

I would, at this point, appreciate an attempt at an ending.

Lawrence Block's Eight Million Ways to Die's mystery resolve was a travesty.

Stephen King's It was my first experience by feeling betrayed by a bad ending. I read the book as teen in the 80s. I was even proud of myself for reading such a thick novel and then I got to the end and said "What?! That's it?" Still burns.

With Stephen King, I believe his popularity has been due to the idea that many readers & aspiring writers have of popular writers in that one can have great success early in one's career without extreme effort. Unlike most writers who toil for years, King achieved success at a relatively young age. King has enjoyed a high visibility for a LONG TIME.

I never liked the ending of Dracula, it always felt extremely underwhelming.

I find it funny that you still call Odysseus “Ulysses” immediately after vowing not to. Not trying to make fun of you Steve, just found it funny. 😂 Great video.

I would change the ending of Larsen's book Passing because It is too sad.

Fun video, Steve! I would change the ending of Le Carre's The Perfect Spy. Maybe because of how it made me feel more than it being bad. I remember enjoying Hannibal (ending seemed for Hollywood) but Red Dragon is what all other dark and prickly thrillers are measured against.

Something that happens towards the end of Cabin at the End of the World made me hate reading the last 70 or so pages of a book that I was really enjoying up until that point

Tess of the d'Urbervilles. From masterpiece to silly melodrama

There are two camps. Each camp probably has something valid to say. If forced to choose a camp, I'd probably go join the kids who didn't adore the second epilogue of War and Peace.

I'm going to try and make a response video to this (as well as the impossible to adapt movie video). Hopefully it will work out.

H.G. Wells for me does bad endings, The Time Machine feels like he thought his homework was due a week later.

I used to think War of thè Worlds was bad but as I have got older it is one that makes sense.

(Love how your dog gets up when you mention the dog.)
