The Last Page of a Book

Some readers start at the end to see if they will like the story.

One person sat on a blue sofa and opened her book to page 200. She read the last scene first because she wanted to know how the story finished.

Some people say this makes reading fun. If you read the end first, you know what happens next. You do not feel worried about bad surprises. This makes the middle of the book more interesting to read.

Other people feel strange when they see the end too soon. They like to guess what happens before reading it. For them, the surprise is part of the fun. They think a story needs to be a secret until you read all pages.

Some readers choose different things for every book. They might start at the beginning, or in the middle. It depends on how much time they have today.

It does not matter if you read from the start or finish. The story is still yours to enjoy in any way you like.
