Do you feel sad when a book ends? email this discussion to a friend?

AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading3 months ago

I don't know why, but whenever I finish a really good novel, whether the ending is happy or not, I feel really sad. Especially after the series Harry Potter ended, I sank into a period of "depression", and I just literally felt really hollow inside. I feel the same when an anime series ends, or even a movie.

Do you experience the same "depression" after finishing a novel?

Maybe! It's decisided by the type of the book I read. If it ended with a sad ending, it will fill me with sad feelings. While a happy ending gives me regret, that is, I cannot live in their happiness any more. But, I like continuing the story in my mind forever!

Yes.wHEN I read abook. Espically when it come to the end.I do feel a little sad.Lastweekend,I had just finish the most famous book --olifu twist.

I like to think and imagine about what the future holds for the characters as well! Sometimes the book doesn't explain the outcomes for all characters, and that leaves me wondering a lot about what eventually happens to those characters. Thanks for sharing! Happy mylotting!

AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

I read the good books over and over as well. I find that once you've read it a couple of times, the feeling of sadness diminishes. Thanks for sharing!

i feel sad that the book ended that i will have lesser chance to rea more about it especially if the story is really interesting. i think that will surely make a booklover sad.


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

Yeah! Especially for a long series that you've been reading for quite a while.

Re-reading a good series a few months later always cheers me up. It's only natural to be upset to see a wonderful series end.


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

Yes, exactly. If the book is really good, I usually go right back to the beginning and read it over again! Or I flip to some really interesting parts and remenisce on those moments:D

well i do have such experience, i felt so depressed to finish a good novel. actually i seldom read a book, it only helped me to go to sleep. but few days ago, i read the book the kid running for kite. when i finished, i found that i have nothing to do but to read the book, since the reading was over, i did not know what i should do in the next days, that's why i feel depressed.


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

You mean The Kite Runner! I read it too! That was a really powerful novel. It's exactly book like those that make me sad when it ends.

I do feel sad sometimes especially if the book is finished and then the matter is unresolved like in the book of James Patterson "Roses are Red" where the murderer is not known to Alex Cross even at the end so I felt sad and very angry also.


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

Oh yeah, those kinds of endings really make me feel frustrated. It's like, what? It ended already? No! I wanna read more!:D

its been years that I haven't read a book.


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

Don't worry, I'm sure a lot of people have no time to read as well. I'm only a student, so I still have time and willingness to read.

Yeah, I get the same feeling sometimes, since it deponds on the novel I read.

What kind of books you read mostly?


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

I like to read historical fictions, because I'm very fascinated with the lives of the past. And of course, I love fantasy fiction! Just anything out of this world, magic, supernatural, vampires... It really gets my imagination going.


zhyair (41)  3 months ago

So I bet that you'd seen the film named The Chronicles of Narnia.

Yeah, they'er all great. Do you like to read some Chinese books?

Sometimes towards the end of the book I am only looking forward to finishing it off. Sometimes if the book is very nice then I kind of dread the end of the book, I keep thinking Oh no! its getting over:( Some books are like that, that we would just not want them to end. And when such books end it makes us sad. And most of the novels especially have a very harsh way of ending. I call it harsh because we want to know so much more like what happened to so n so after that etc but they abruptly end if off in just one line!:o I wish they would show some more mercy and give in some more details:P But I guess its just the part of the novel, to leave the reader wanting to read more otherwise it might become the case where we just anxiously look forward to finishing it off.
Is the same reason that makes u sad?


AmuletGirl (72)   ranked 1,632 out of 10,259 in reading  3 months ago

You are absolutely right! I really feel depressed when the book just ends suddenly without giving an insight into what the future beholds for those characters. I grow really close to those characters sometimes, and I just can't take it when I have to part with them XD
