Well, what I liked about the last paragraph that it sort of finalized what was coming for quite some books. Also, it was a clean point of setting up the next book.
Like I said, it felt that the original idea for the book was finished too soon and the rest was to fill it up. There were some good parts, but almost a third of the book?
A big no-no for me was the fact that the ending still came as a surprise... According to my reader I had quite some pages left. I didn't like that there were some chapters of another book were there for promotional reasons. That was a nasty surprise.

One of the reasons I have switched off any progress indication while reading. No percent, pages, location or time left. Before doing that it always got a little disappointing when the end of the book was so close. You don't want it to end, but yet you know it has to be wrapped up in just a little bit. Not knowing until it is over is much better, IMHO.

From online entertainment mogul, actress, and “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day comes a funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to Internet-stardom, and embracing her individuality to find success in Hollywood.
The Internet isn’t all cat videos. There’s also Felicia Day—violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world…or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet geeks and Goodreads book clubs.

After growing up in the south where she was “homeschooled for hippie reasons,” Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia’s misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company, and become an Internet...
