That's probably because you're a heartless conservative, naturally.
No, because it seemed to be obvious... the story led up to it.
On the contrast I cried when I read what JK Rowling just recently did for a girl, who was a huge Harry Potter fan, that was dying of cancer (just died, IIRC )
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
Well, given that I figured it out halfway into the book, Imran, it wasn't that surprising of an ending.
Damn you!
But wasn't halfway through the book not even 25 pages into the second story?

Not every novel is supposed to have a suprise or twist ending.
But if you can accurately gauge the ending, then it doesn't NEARLY pack the emotional punch... because there is no punch, you've seen it and deflected it.

JohnT, true... I guess I didn't think Remarque was a great writer. Good book though .

The Moonstone had a very good and surprising ending (best detective novel I've read...)

Not every novel is supposed to have a suprise or twist ending. You've been seeing too many Hollywood movies.
Yeah, but when the punch just comes behind the corner and *wham* strikes you, and you realise that it's completely possible but you never thought about it, and it isn't a lame "it was all a dream" sort of deus ex machina either.... Like in Dan Simmons's Fall of Hyperion, though this isn't the ending:
Spoiler:
When we find out that the Ousters weren't the attackers after all. Damn, it was so obvious, but the text just kept me so occupied with itself that I didn't have the time to figure it out. I was absolutely... I can't really name the emotion. Exhilirated, maybe.
Very likely. I'm also a little surprised that someone who doesn't like to read hangs around in message boards... one would think an AOL chat room would be more to his taste.
