Reading the Last Page

One of my favorite authors is James Patterson. Ever since the days when I’d go to the library to pick out books for my summer reading list I have always chosen mysteries. The way James Patterson is able to guide a reader one way and have the ending a completely different twist intrigues me. I love how I can predict one thing and end up having and ending I did not expect. When finished reading, I always look back and see the obvious clues that were not so obvious at the time. For example, I read Invisible over the summer and it had the most surprising ending ever. I do have a habit of reading the last page of a book before I get to it. I almost like knowing what happens before so I can make an effort to understand the character better before they die. I usually read the end in romance novels so I can see throughout the book how their relationship develops. I hold off until the end for mystery novels so I can try to figure them out myself. Most people cannot believe I read the last page, but sometimes it just makes the characters better while reading the book.
