    Fans of the author tsking me for not being willing to read 230,000 words to find out if the ending is different enough to justify reading!

        Suspect us no-spoilers types fundamentally don't get why anyone would want to be spoiled. They're such diff ways of reading. @avantgame

        @avantgame I read the novelisation of Long Kiss Goodnight. Not sure I would have if I'd known the ending. Fave char died. :(

        @avantgame Odd. Wonder if they see ANY info as a spoiler. Tell them a book's good and you've already colored (ruined) the experience.

        @avantgame it's not the ends but the means that are the important thing. True of games as well. Maybe end/product focus is an American thing

        @avantgame Seems unlike you to be so focused on the ending. Maybe I don't know you the way I pretended I did ;P

        @avantgame How much of the plot in the text differs from the show? Can you skip ahead to a parallel point where the story diverges?

        @avantgame Perhaps asking for a 'spoiler' is a tsk, but asking 'is it worth it' is considered acceptable, despite the marginal difference.

        @avantgame Intriguing discussion... I hate spoilers as a reader/viewer but can see your point in this case.
