What book event has left you most pissed? (Possible spoilers)

Pretty self-explanatory title.
Which book has left you most ready to throw it across the room, only to go pick it back up and continue reading?
For me it has to be the ending of Deadhouse Gates in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. I was freaking furious at the incompetence and idiocy Pormqual exhibited at the end.

Ned getting his head chopped off because he wouldn't ally with Renly and instead trusted Littlefinger enraged me more than the Red Wedding.

7 Years after I finished A Dance with Dragons and I realized that it was the last book we would see in the series.

It is a burden we all must carry, I’m afraid.

I mean ya that sucked, but it may be my favorite fantasy book of all time. So i can't hate it that much. I was much more pissed at Rhulad at the end of Memories of Ice.

??? Rhulad was hardly even mentioned in that book. Do you mean Midnight Tides?

Arya getting hit in the head with an axe. Which one was that? COK or ASOS?
And probably a little lesser known, but 1 of the books in Dalglish's Half Orc series, when the main character's kid "perished".

Got to be the Red Wedding.

I no shite tossed the book across the room for the red wedding.

While the Red Wedding ticked me off, the last time I was utterly disappointed had to be The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I generally don't read mystery thriller style books, but I picked it up and was really enjoying it. However, I felt as if there was a moment in the last fifty pages where you could feel Brown ask himself, "How do I make this have a good movie ending?" I barely made it to the end of the book.

Da Vinci Code as well, but the first few chapters when I realized that I had already read Holy Blood Holy Grail and it was better. And that Brown”s writing style didn’t work for me.

Ya the entirety of The Fall was just freakin brutal. Although I'd have to place what Kallor did to Whiskey Jack in Memories of Ice a bit above it.

That was brutal
Also some moments during the march across the desert - I guess that would be in The Crippled God. The name of the offending party escapes me but the one trying to stash the water and all.
They don't call it the Book of the Fallen for nothing.

Dust of Dreams too. Ya...the kids. That seriously almost made me choke up when I think it was Fiddler comments about how they had forgotten how to play with toys.

Erickson really knew how to write emotionally heavy scenes. All of these mentioned were impressive, no doubt.
Blistig was the water hoarder, btw.

When Chewbacca died in Vector Prime. I always thought he'd go out like a warrior, not in the strange manner that he did.

The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.
End of the third book, you find out what a dick the evil Gandalf type character truly is, and he’s basically the only character whose life gets better from all the devastation that he caused.

The ending to Infinite Jest. I literally threw the book off a ferry into the ocean.
Now that I understand it better I'm OK with it, but back then, after all that work, to reach that ending...
