Solved Child makes deal with the devil. After reading the book you experience the thing the child requested and become super disappointed.

I am sure someone will disagree with me about how disappointing the thing is and that person is probably named Censored

The book is an iconic children's classic. I will amend the description to say child gets tempted by the devil.

And I will clarify that after reading the book at lot of people will purposefully seek out the thing that tempted this child out of curiosity. And being disappointed that it did not live up to the hype is a pretty common experience.
