Yes. If I can anticipate what is going to happen, and it feels the story is dragging out the inevitable ending, it doesn't invite me to keep reading. I like it when a story is unpredictable and I have to think "How is the author going to solve this now?"

And then you better NOT use a Deus Ex Machina to reach / ressurect an ending I thought to have been a passed station long ago, or I'll hate you forever and ever
