Books with happy endings at least give us the hope that in real life every things sets in the end ..........the nature has this quality to calm down the surroundings end of the like ...........and while we find the same notations in the happy endings of the books ...we feel that we will have the same fate ........a real bright sun at the end of our journey .........

Ultimately , everything ends with a big smile ....

I like happy ending books so far they fit into the story. They're usually lovable but if a story goes so well and a sad ending is inevitable, it's cool.

I like them but I don't dislike unhappy endings either.

Yes, I love books with happy endings. I do not dislike books with unhappy endings but I just feel like I read to escape the reality and cruelty of this world sometimes and I prefer books with happy endings to distract myself and remain hopeful.

Having a happy ending at a book is fine if all events leading up to it make sense. There’s nothing worse than a book that ends all happy a nice if there are loose ends. It’s like the author just forgets about those questions just for the sake of a nice ending.

It doesn't matters me. We cannot expect all the books to have a happy ending. I usually see the intensity of the plot rather than the conclusion.

I like books that have endings that make sense to the story. Endings that are well thought out and not rushed. I have spent hours on reading a story only to have the worst endings. The end of the story I believe is the most important part. You want your reader to feel like they haven't wasted their time reading your story.

I only read books with happy endings, otherwise I feel like it's incomplete. And life is sad enough for me, I don't want to read books that end in a sad way.

I like happy ending books but they have to have hardships and things that the characters must overcome to achieve the happy ending. It cannot just be happy and joy throughout the novel.

Happy ending books are cool and sweet but I prefer sad ending books because the fact that the whole story runs in an unpredictable manner and the climax makes me feel more interested to read the book. I feel that sad ending books are gripping and makes me blend to the book which tempts me to finish the book within a few hours which I usually do. Being obsessed with sad ending books, I feel like sad ending books should be published more for the readers to urge the writer to write again!!!
