My book club leader swore we'd hate the ending of The Goldfinch

Our group leader said nobody in her last TWO groups finished it happy because the ending was a letdown. So I went in expecting to be annoyed, but honestly? I LOVED how it wrapped up. Theo finally got some closure with the painting and his life. I feel like she put this idea in our heads before we even started, and now I'm wondering if she's just a bad judge of books. Has anyone else had a book club leader steer you wrong like that?

Bad judge of books" sounds right. Next time read it first then let her talk.

Oh absolutely, my book taste is so bad I once judged a cookbook by its cover and it turned out to be a murder mystery (true story, I was very confused about the recipe section).
