I've never read the last sentence of a book before reading the rest of the book. I usually read the first couple of paragraphs to see if the book intrigues me - but it's usually the blurb that convinces me to read the story.

sometimes I'll just flip to the middle and read a random sentence. It doesn't bother me. Only once so far have I done that and the sentence I read turned out to be a bit of a spoiler.

sometimes I read the last sentence once I read some of the book and find it boring. it doesn't really bother me if people read the last sentence or flip through the book

Guilty as charged! I try to prevent myself from doing it, but sometimes the temptation is too great. "Oh, the last sentence won't give away the whole book..." Boy, was I wrong when I did that with 1984. The last sentence in that book gives the entire story away. *lol*

Only when I am reading a suspense novel! No I'm just kidding. In fact i never do that and start from the first to the last word. I read even the forward/preface in order.

If i like the e book, nope. i do no longer opt for to break it for myself. If i do no longer purely like the e book, then yeah, in simple terms in case i become uninterested in it and positioned it down. yet each on occasion, my interest gets the greater effective of be and that i'd desire to have a speedy peek on the ending. i like understanding what's going to ensue, i do unlike surprises.

Rarely. And every time I've done that, it simply spoiled the book for me, so now I try not to do it.
