They don't want you to have that information. I agree it should be made plain. That's why if I'm unsure, I wait until some whose opinion I trust has read it before I start. That way they can tell me if there's closure, or if it's just left as an open-ended mess. I would like to start Peter F. Hamilton's newest series, for instance. But I've been assured there's no closure, so I'll wait.
