Anything with an unambiguously Happy Ending is a piece of cheap commercial tripe. Naturally, nobody's really the good guy in these stories. If there is a sympathetic viewpoint character, don't expect their suffering to be the prelude to an ultimate triumph. No, they've got to be traumatized for life, or even killed off, along with their friends. And heck, if there is a bad guy, why not let 'em win and get away with it scot-free while we're at it? That ought to drive home the message that life is suffering. See also: Angst Aversion, Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy and Death by Newbery Medal.
