What did you think of the twists and turns of the story?

Post by Rodel Barnachea »

I am yet to finish reading the book on Kindle Unlimited, but many reviews have mentioned how the novel has several plot twists and turns. Did you like the said twists and turns? Were they controversial? Did you anticipate them, or were you shocked by each revelation?

some of them were head turners and some were expected of the story development, but it was definitely exciting to read and interesting to see what will happen

Both, I suppose. When it comes to John, I anticipated how he would feel. I'm usually good at predicting the emotional states of characters. As for the plot, I was surprised a couple of times and I like such surprises in a story. I think the plot was crafted well.

I think it's a great element of the story. It keeps the reader always wondering. Normally, stories that include amnesia are usually slow-paced but not this one. I was honestly shocked at every twist the writer name

In my opinion, being able to surprise a reader with twists and turns is one of the best qualities that a book can have! So I am very happy that this novel executed surprising plot twists so well.

The twist and turns were appropriate and well befitting of the story. It shows the creative prowess of the author. I did see some coming but many caught me off-guard. I love stories like that. That is the proper way to write a suspenseful story, so I have to say kudos to the author on this one.

I do think that an element of twists and turns, when carefully crafted into a story makes for an exciting and suspense-filled reading, but in this instance I do feel they were a tad bit too many, and seemed quite controversial. This removed the element of surprise as well that should ordinarily have accompanied such twists.

I do like the twists and turns. I was able to anticipate some twists, while for some I was shocked by the revelation. Overall, the author mixed the twists and turns in the story quite witfully.

To be frank, I wasn't surprised with the plots and twists. Yes, they were interesting and head turning, but the plots were not that surprising to me.

Some of them were expected since this is a psychological book, although there were twists that were a surprise for me. It really kept the book fresh in my opinion.

I did anticipate several twists and turns of events, whereas how the author delivered it is on another level of discussion.

It was exciting to read and interesting to see what was going to happen next, some of them were unexpected and some were expected from the development of the story.

The book justifies its title as a psychological thriller—suspense mixed with uncertainties. I enjoyed every twist in the book.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this much divergence in plot. These turns really develop the story at an another pace.

I like reading thrillers because of these surprising twists. They are what make the book interesting and catchy.
