A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess is written entirely in made-up slang. The first couple of pages can be a head scratcher until you get used to the language, and by the end of the book you can practically speak Nadsat.
Ellen Hopkins also has a very unique style. Her books are written like poetry/verse, but it tells a story. Often the layout of the words have an affect on the reading, as well, almost like an illustration.

- Latest Review: The Sparrow by Denna M. Davis
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy evolves with the character - like the violence is described in less detail as the main character becomes desensitized to it.

You reminded me that I have a copy of Mrs. Dalloway! Thank you, I love the stream of consciousness style.

Princes of the Air by John M Ford tells the story of a group of friends, but you only see them at major points in their lives when they are (almost) all together
Really, anything by Gene Wolfe, but especially Soldier of the Mist, Soldier of Arete, and Soldier of Sidon - the book is told from the point of view of a character with a traumatic brain injury that makes him a completely unreliable narrator

- Latest Review: The Turn by Matthew Tysz
It follows Abraham Lincoln’s son after his death as he finds himself in the Bardo, a sort of purgatorial place. Abraham Lincoln famously visited his son’s crypt several times and this is worked into the story.
