Top 4 Thursday is a bi-monthly meme hosted by Ally Memes @ Ally Writes Things. This week’s topic, bad endings, or endings that should have been re-written. You can see other upcoming top 4 topics here.

First Phone Call From Heaven by Mitch Albom

It wasn’t just the ending on this that needed to be re-written. Large parts of it did, which all depending on the ending to have impact. There was no impact. And I saw the ending coming from the beginning of the book.

 

Blindness by José Saramago

After an extremely interesting premise, and so many hard-fought battles (while dealing with major adversity) the ending was just… unfulfilling. Was there a point to anything I just read? No? Okay. Thanks.

 

The Hunger Games/Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I wanted more. For everyone. I know not everyone can have a happy ending, but how about 1 or 2 people?

 

1984 by George Orwell

If I was Bruce Banner, the end of this book would turn me into the Hulk. And it’s made worse by the fact that it’s a great book.

Fun fact about this post: I think I have internal bleeding from not being able to talk about these endings!
