Identical by Ellen Hopkins
Enders Game has a good twist if you weren’t spoiled by that movie a few years back.
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
Divergent. You don’t think it’ll happen at all, as it’s usually impossible with the style of writing
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Dennis LeHane’s Shutter Island. I usually figure a lot of things out and I was floored by this one.
I started reading that one but got turns off by the vulgarity , my dad laughed at me, I’d pick it up again if I had a reason. I saw the movie.
@Atlanta, I loved the movie, too. And Scorsese changed the ending and boom, another surprise. I’d actually like to read and watch again.
@Atlanta, good idea. I’ll have to find my copy of it.
I picked that one up at the library last week. It’s next TBR when I finish Identical (Turow), hopefully this week.
@Carla, I hope you like it. I found it to be a really great read.

I read this book but I forgot what happens. What happens again? @Kathie
No spoilers…but it’s about a boy who is accused of killing a classmate, not going to say how it ends….
1984 & The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Really? 1984 wasn’t a surprise to me. Maybe that’s because I read a lot of dystopian literature.
Was my first actually, maybe because of that
@Sondos what surprised you about the end?
Didn’t believe that Winston will love BB at the end after what he experienced with the thought police, I thought he will be more revolutionary or something

Just thinking about that book makes me wanna cry.
The Book of Revelation – Whore of Babylon riding in on a seven headed beast? Nowhere did I see that coming.
Gone Girl!
I agree, the Gone Girl ending was a shocker and twisted af.
I agree. It pissed me off.

If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise…..?

@Diane Same here.

@Kathie oh wow! I have to say that I found the ending disturbing.
Gone Girl
I ended up thinking those two deserved each other
The Cold Six Thousand, by James Ellroy.
A norwegian book called «I morgen er alt mørkt» or in english «tomorrow everything’s dark». I didn’t really like the book nor the ending. Yes it was surprising, but so confusing
Shalimar the Clown (Rushdie).
Warcross by Marie Lu
Under the dome by Stephen King. Really?
I felt the same way! I love King, and the book was good – but not the ending!
We need to talk about Kevin
Right? I didn’t see THAT coming … and the movie totally ruined it!
@Bente it freaked me out, I threw the book and I really never abuse my books.
I read that book but don’t remember much of it. Wasn’t he a sociopath?
Such a great book but so unsettling
The ending of Kiss and Tell.

Yes! I hate when they make me love a character just to do that!

Shutter Island, Dennis Lehane. Did NOT see that coming.

NO WORDS for my surprise yo

Shutter Island.
