When protagonists die.

[Samantha The Escapist]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use examples for this discussion unless you put two separate spoiler tags on the book title first and then the character name.

BUT how do feel when you're reading a book and the main protagonist dies at the end?

[Purvika]

I feel kind of lost and sad...sometimes I shed a tear or two... But sometimes it is essential for a story where main protagonist dies ...

[Sarah]

It makes me feel so sad and sometimes if I'm really attached to them I will sob and wonder what the point of the book even was. It can be quite frustrating.

Do I have to repeat my opinion? :b

[Samantha The Escapist]

Okay, follow up question! Have you ever felt like it was a good ending, even if you were sad about it? Once again, no specific spoilers.

[Sarah]

Yes! I just finished a book that was like that.

Caution, read the following at your own risk:

This is the book: (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

Character: (view spoiler)[ The main character, which I loved very much, Liesel. (hide spoiler)]

Explanation: (view spoiler)[ The ending was quite good, I must say. It was one of those endings that made you cry, both happily and sadly. At the end of the book, Liesel dies of old age. She had a husband and both kids and grandkids. And as Death was taking her soul away, he returned the the Book Thief, an autobiography she had written when she was young and it was thrown away after the bombing. It was a very good book.

I don't like it. I remember reading (view spoiler)[ Evernight (hide spoiler)] When (view spoiler)[ Bianca died (hide spoiler)] and I was creeped out for a week because of it!! I dislike it, and tend to avoid books where main characters and such die :/
