Exclamation marks are better than "..."-s. All right, I use "..." all the time, but I'm a human being whose writings aren't published. But when you see it all the time in a book... ( 
) that's a bit as if the writer didn't know what he wanted to write. Sometimes it expressed something in the text, but a writer shouldn't use "..." instead of ".", only because it looks better. (there are writers like this)

Yay! Go, Sjoerd! It's one of my favorite series (Discworld is the non-plus-ultra, so doesn't count ), but I think Fforde shouldn't have written a sequel after Something Rotten. It had a nice ending (I liked the ending so much, I didn't even read First Among Sequels yet, which is the next Next book...)

I think Jane its because they're mostly set when the way of life the characters knew is disappearing so there'e always that feeling of loss by the end, have you read Warrior Scarlet or Frontier Wolf - I remember enjoying both of them more than Eagle of the Ninth, can't remember what the endings are like though
Man, that white text thing did an epic fail. 
Maybe the author wants to reflect reality, like that Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler guy? Where everything doesn't turn out hunky-dory and tons of people die.
I like those happy endings where everyone gets rich and married. I used to adore Little Princess and Lord Fauntleroy.

The ending, the way I see it, is better if the few people who kick the bucket are the ones that didn't really matter. Side characters, redshirt army, or whatever they call'em.
And that's why I love children's media. ^__^
