I agree, but this was only the first book not the last one. So, I would think the author had to come up with something so that more people would keep reading the whole series. When I started watching the show it also made me want to read the books because I like mysteries like that. And I kind of feel the same way you do when you have to make up your own endings to satisfy yourself.

I’ve wanted to read the Pretty Little Liars series ever since I started watching the TV show. It has been recommended to me numerous times, but I just never found a chance to find time for reading them. I HATE books that end as cliff hangers because I would rather know and understand exactly what happened and was resolved because I just like clarity. I’m forced to wonder and come up with my own ending when they don’t give me one that satisfies me, which is probably sounding really lazy, but I just don’t like doing that. I like it when books either gradually come to an end or end abrubtly and have me left shocked. I’m not exactly surprised that the series ended the way it did based on what I’ve seen from the TV show, though. It was confusing enough and I still don’t know who A is… But I still think it’s worth reading because I’d like to see how the two endings compare to each other!

So, Ashley, you’re saying that if more teachers trusted their students with choosing what to read, the students would eventually get to the teachers’ goals: read more, read a wider variety of genres, and read for better and deeper understanding. I think I mostly agree with you, and like you suggest, if a book is assigned and a student doesn’t read it, then nothing is accomplished, right?

I really agree. We judge peoples appearance because that is the first thing we see. We cant SEE their personality. I tend to study peoples posture, voice, and ora they give off. By that i am usually able to read into it and figure if the person is overall friendly or rude.
