Yesterday, while dropping off A Walk to Remember at the library (The fee wasn't as bad as I thought!) the librarians told me that the copy of The Time Traveler's Wife* I had on hold had finally come in. I was incredibly excited as I've been waiting for it a couple of months.


I've seen several reviews of this book, and the thing I am both dreading and anticipating is it's heartbreaking ending. I've been thinking about the ending a lot, and I've thought of almost every heartbreaking thing I can imagine. I'll have to wait and see if I'm right. As I was drumming up possible endings, I began thinking that if knowing the type of ending will destroy a bit of my enjoyment of the book.

Since I know the ending is heartbreaking, will I be steeling myself through the entire book for the experience? How about you? Have you ever found an ending to be less climatic than you expected after knowing the type of ending it had?
