>I mean, sure it was sad and all at the end and there was a lot of high quality writing but the plot was god awful.

I feel the same way about the "His Dark Materials" trilogy. Especially the last book. It was written specifically to cause heartache at the end, and unfortunately, the way it was brought about was so contrived that I lost a sense of immersion I had while reading it.

Not to say I wasn't emotionally attached to Lyra and Will and didn't empathize with them - because I certainly did - but what happened and how it happened at the end just didn't jive with me, it felt forced.
