Cruel and Unusual Punishment

The one thing I hate most is when somebody tells me the ending to a really good book or movie before I have even gotten to that part. The other day, my friend Annie noticed that I was reading the Pendragon series. I had started reading them about a year earlier, but I ended up taking a break to read a book for a different class. I quit on the fourth book, and I was currently reading the fifth one.
Annie looked at the book and said,"That's a really good book series, but I hate the ending because it turns out that he is in a coma the whole time. It's all just a dream."
WHAT!? After I got over the shock of  the horrible ending, I tried to convince myself she was lying.  The whole book series is TEN BOOKS. I wasn't even half way. Needless to say I was a little more than irritated. Not only had she told about the ending, she had told me about a bad ending that would ruin the rest of the series for me. I believe this is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. I will be in agony just knowing that it's a waste of suspense and paper.
For all those who are ever inclined to tell someone the end of a good story before they have figured it out for themselves, save yourselves the trouble of losing a couple teeth and friends. There is absolutely nothing worse than having a good book or book series ruined.
