2. First chapter in and you're still like




3. But halfway through you become like




4. And then like




5. By the final chapter you're like

And




7. You rush out to buy the hard copy even though you've already got the e-book.

10. Later, you learn that the sequel is out and this becomes you




11. But then the sequel won't be out until next year and you're like




12. Finally, the sequel is here and you're like






13. You repeat stages 4 and 5, only this time you're more like this



And

14. And now that there's a final installment, you're like
