Lemony Snicket's A series of unfortunate events Series

Most annoying ending I have ever read.

To be honest the ending left me feeling nothing... The kind of nothing where you say 'Is that it?', I mean personally I loved every book before the 14th one, yes I said 14th

??? I ask this because I have a terrible memory, but exactly where does the 14th one take place?

Well about 8/10 through the pages of book 13 the actual book ends but there are still about 20 or 30 odd pages left so after 2 or 3 pages it gives the title book 14 or something like that and it gives you the epilogue, so basically book 14 is in book 13

Edit: *Minor spoiler* But the orphans are still on the island in 14

Ok, I have read the entire series and merely wanted to make sure they didn't end up making another one, I do remember the Epilogue now.

The Black Company series by Glen Cook. I, sadly, can't finish it as the last 4 books are out of print. And so I wait until the day comes when I can finish the beloved series and find the ending I so desperately want. (Also, I heard something about the guy making more in the series. Hell, if he does that means the 4 I need will likely go back into print so people like me won't get lost. Common, writer!)

Actually they're out like a two book collection, just like the three frist have been put together in "The Chronicles of the Black Company" and "The Black Company: The Book of South", they are named "Return of the Black Company", being "Black Season" and "She is the Dark", and "The Many Deaths of the Black Company", being "Water Sleeps" and "Soldiers Live"

As you might have understood already I really like that series too.
Also, I love Steven Erikson's "The Malazan Book of the Fallen"-series, and I am waiting with glee for the tenth and last book.
And anything written by Terry Pratchett.

Wait... You mean they already came out with the book collection for it? Well, damn, I gotta get on buying that. I have the book collections of the first 3 books so it'd only be fitting to get a collection of the final three. Is that available at the standard borders/barns&Nobles?

Edit: Ooo, shiny 1000th post...

[ninjaman 420]

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. It's made of awesome. Charming wit, unique plot, and great character development. Truly a masterpiece.

The book that comes as a close second is the psychology book "När du gör som jag vill" (that's Swedish for "When you do as I want to") by Henrik Fexeus.

this man's on the right track. i was going to say american gods by neil gaiman, anansi boys is the sequel. other than that i liked gaimans book neverwhere, and good omens, co authored by gaiman and terry pratchet

Flags of Our Fathers, and The Green Mile. I was totally mindfucked, in a good way, at the end of The Green Mile.

 

[sam_savage1393]

Candide by Voltaire: very odd, but that's why I like it.
Another odd book that is gruesome as well is Brave New World.

 

[Cavouku]

I'll let you know when I'm done writing it.

But as for other people's; most things by K. A. Applegate (Animorphs, Remnants & Everworld) and The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven.

I would say that Anansi Boys is a spiritual sequel, as it is set in the same universe, with the focus being on characters that didn't have anything to do with the last book.
