I usually try not to spoil books for myself (or fanfics, for that matter). However, if I feel really emotionally attached to a character-- especially in a sequel (or a fanfic) where I've already fallen in love with the characters-- and I have a sinking suspicion they're going to die, I will look at the end just so I can have time to get used to the idea <g>.
I can live with suspense (although admittedly I don't read that much of it), mysteries, etc. without being tempted to cheat. It's only when I expect an emotional battering when I look ahead.
And btw, Sara, that included your
Wherever You Will Go. Had to check the end of that one
