Quote Details
Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle. They read it to get to the end. If it's a letdown, they would not buy anymore. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book. |

Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write a book so when the reader gets to the end of the chapter, he or she must turn one more page.- Sidney Sheldon
In fact I have a full page warning, right in the front of the book, that no one under the age of eighteen should read this book and no one should even turn the pages if they are sexually conservative or erotically deprived.
We Jews have a special attachment to the Book. The study of page after page in tomes yellowing with age was obligatory.
You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.
It would absolutely suck if you paid a few bucks for a book only to find that on the first page it said, 'Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after' and the rest of the book was blank.
