Tangerine's post in the "books you could NOT finish" thread got me to thinking: Which books have you read (finished, actually) that made you think, "Did I really just suffer through this book for that?" or "I can't believe the writer did that"? In essence, you were (to be kind) underwhelmed or disappointed.
If you could tell why you were underwhelmed/disappointed/annoyed without giving away the ending, that would be nice.
I mentioned Vanina Marsot's Foreign Tongue in the other thread. I'm sure I'll think of other books, but this one sticks out in my head because I read it last year. The ending just seemed to come out of nowhere, and I didn't think it satisfied everything that had come before it. It seemed like the author did what she did simply because she could, and I was sooooo annoyed! I mean, there are twists, and then there's what she did.
