Many of the one star reviews on mention this publicity stunt as the main reason for their low rating of the book (2.5 stars). After the movie was released readers could go to a website and read the ending. Why is the publisher doing this? It seems to be an ill-conceived publicity stunt. The kicker is that readers aren't informed of this fact before they buy the book. It isn't that the author decided to end the book on a cliffhanger - something that is done often enough - it is that the publisher intentionally withheld that part of the book. You can buy the book but you can't read the last few pages because the publisher has withheld them. The story has an ending but the publisher decided to not print it. Red Riding Hood, a book by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright and David Leslie Johnson, does not have an ending.
