| I just got back from seeing Chuck Palawalladingdonhniuk, and he got me thinking about twist endings. I LOVE twist endings but I've never had the opportunity to utilize a true twist in my own writing...my plots just haven't allowed for it. I think it's one of the hallmarks of a really good author if they can thoroughly surprise you so far into a novel. And Fight Club has one of my favorite sneaky endings of all time. Tyler is Jack! Jack is Tyler! I am Jack's plot twist! I get to twist the overarching plot at the start of the second book in my Black London series, but it's just not the same as a big whallop right before the climax. I'm still working towards that, hoping one day that I'll get to make everyone jump out of their chairs and cry "Oh no she di'int!" with a story. What are your favorite twist endings?

Am I going to get in trouble for blowing an ending? Oh well...
At the end of James Patterson's Roses Are Red when I found out that the infamous Mastermind who orchestrated more murder and mayhem for poor Alex Cross turned out to be his buddy Agent Kyle Craig. It was one of the few times I was genuinely blown away.
Showing my age...The Sting. :)
The Sixth Sense. I go back and watch it now and shake my head--how did I not see it all earlier? That clever, clever M. Knight Shamamlanadingdong.
Jaye is right I never saw that coming in the Sixth Sense. In a lesser degree because the movie wasn't so great...Unbreakable.
But shame on you for taunting us with your Black London series..Can't you see we are all dyiing for that book. SIgh....
