Oh God I hate that. Here I am at the fag end of a book, oh looky there's 20 pages to go that's nice to know I guess there's quite a few loose ends the author needs to tie up I can enjoy reading for half an hour more, then BOOM the story ends within the next couple of pages. Ends the entire reading experience on an anti-climactic note.
