Here's the question for this week's Booking Through Thursday:
1. Do YOU like books with complicated plots and unexpected endings?
2. What book with a surprise ending is your favorite? Or your least favorite?
I love unexpected endings, but not complicated plots. I can deal with a bunch of characters if there is good dialogue. I can't handle a ton of description if there are lots of characters, though, because I "see" the characters through their actions, like a movie.
I am very fond of Holes for the surprise ending. =)
Sorry for the short post. I have to be up at 5:30 for the second day in a row to drive a friend to the airport.
Holes! Good choice. That reminds me... my son's about the right age now to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSeconds! Complicated plots are for those with so much patience. That's like straightening a kinky hair using a comb.
ReplyDeleteDifficult.
Pussreboots (excellent nom de plume, by the way!) -- how old's your son? I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to read it (she's only 4).
ReplyDeleteCutlex -- I have no patience for books. There are too many great books out there and I just want to glut myself on them! I am a gourmand! But even if I only choose to look at the top .05% of books, I still don't have enough time to read them all.... so I can be a gourmet and a gourmand at the same time. =) Such a privilege.
