Does knowing what happens at the end of a book really spoil it for the reader?
If it does spoil it for the reader, why do readers read the last pages first and then begin reading the book forward from the beginnig?

Reading the story ending is a big mistake in my opinion. Why would anyone do that? Yeah, to do that would completely ruin the book for me.
But to answer your question: Maybe the reader gets too distraught not knowing how the story will end. So he/she reads the ending, deals with it, and begins reading the book from the beginning. Just an idea...
Now that I've said all that, there are books that have been written beginning with the ending first, before the rest of the story is told. Movies have been successfully done that way, too. It boils down to how well the story is told, I guess.
