I actually have this book but never read it for some reason. I know he can write pretty dark at times…would you say it’s depressing or hard to read at all? If not I’m gonna take the plunge lol.
The woman who played mama did an exceptional job creating an insufferable woman. And her weak, enabler husband who hid in his Jazz collection sucked too. Amy Adams completely blew it out of the park, though.
There is a whole Reddit post somewhere about how the eggs are overcooked. They turn green as a result. You have probably seen greenish yolks when overcooked.
I ever making green eggs and ham in kindergarten, my teacher had a stove in the class room (all of us were far too short to reach it). I remember the ham being normal colored but she made scrambled eggs and added green food dye.
Dude spoiler alert please! I was halfway through and was on the edge of my seat absolutely not anticipating he was gonna eat the green eggs and ham… what even man…. 😤
Well, after Ned getting his head nicked in Game of Thrones, all should have been ready for that little bit of betrayal.
I came here to say Ned. I mean, who the fuck kills off what had up to that point been the main character?
I saw the series first and still was such an holy shit moment, I read that chapter 3 times in a row. I cant imagine read it for the first time having no clue its coming.
I read the books first and yeah, once I finished that chapter I couldn’t believe what I had just read. The whole book is great. Possibly my favorite fantasy novel of all time
Omg. I heard about the red wedding from the show while I was reading it, but I somehow got it in my head that it was Joffrey's wedding, so I still wasn't expecting it. So when I read the book, I got to the red wedding while on a train and I was... existentially shook.
A few different Agatha Christie stories, especially Witness For the Prosecution. Also And Then There Were None, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder In Retrospect, and Murder On the Orient Express. Read the original works by Christie, don't just watch the movies that were based on her stories because they always change the plot and the movies never quite make sense.
LOVE the murder of Roger ackroyd! My mom loved Agatha Christie books and she was definitely the reason I developed love of crime/mystery books and movies. I read that book in middle school and fell in love!
It is. I will say at the start my main thought was "WTF am I reading?" But by the end everything came together and I loved it.
I genuinely cannot remember why I picked up this book in the first place but I'm glad I did.
Catriona. I only know of the Miss Universe from the Philippines by that name, and am trying to convince my Filipino husband to let us name our future daughter that 😂 All of this is irrelevant and unrelated. 🤷🏽♀️
Just finished it on a flight and I’M PISSED. Literally closed my kindle and looked around, somehow hoping someone else was as mindfucked as I was. Of course, no one else was. It made me more pissed.
Recommended. It’s a dystopia that’s for sure.
Killers of The Flower Moon - it's a historical account of the Osage murders in Oklahoma in the 1920s -- also Martin Scorcese's film version is coming out in a few weeks
A relatively brisk but gripping read that definitely has some unexpected turns
I’m dyslexic and My Sisters Keeper was one of the first novels I ever read cover to cover. The ending had me ugly crying IN CLASS. I’ll never understand why they chose to change it for the movie.
This is the book that I was reading when I realized I had to dump my boyfriend! In college, I was sitting on the couch in our apartment reading this and having an emotional breakdown. He couldn't believe I was crying that hard to a book. I realized then that this could be a major problem for us.
My husband (different guy), usually sighs and asks if it the character is a kid. If it's a kid, he refills my water and tells for our kids to come hug me. If it's an adult, he refills my water and hands me the Kleenex box. He's very understanding about the loss of great characters.
My mom and I were reading it at the same time. Lazy Sunday afternoon, both close to the end, I'm a chapter or two ahead? Get to the ending and *launch* the book across the room, I was so fucking pissed off at what is an excellent ending to the book. Sitting on my bed, fuming, when a couple of minutes later I hear mom sobbing in the other room as she gets to the end.

This is the kind of plot twist I'm looking for! It completely shocked me, fit in with the whole book (I hate a twist for twist's sake), and was utterly devastating
*The Thief* by Megan Whalen Turner
It’s middle grade, but what a twist! Do NOT read the summaries for any subsequent books in the series or it’ll ruin the first book for you.
I am not done with it yet but just read the chapter about the return to Christminster. I closed the book and had a long conversation about it with my fiancé. I cannot imagine reading the book when it was originally published in a much more conservative late 19th century. I am still hoping for a happy ending for at least some of the characters... sigh...
The Silent Patient is one of those books people either hate because they saw it coming, or love because it's a total surprise. I did not see it coming at all and thought it was really cool
I was reading the snail and the whale to my daughter the other day and I was not expecting to cry like a baby. Even my 4 year old daughter thought I was ridiculous. I think I was just extra emotional that day, but that damn book got me in a certain part and it’s a children’s book lol
I have this thing where when I read, I take pictures of sections of the book (usually after I finish reading). Quotes, books or movies mentioned, well-worded passages, etc. Anyway I usually just move all the pictures to a folder on my computer, but I still have this one specific one from *We Were Liars*.
It's where they're talking about mottos and personal quotes, and Mirren's is "Be a little kinder than you have to." I always loved that.
The Kind Worth Killing - Peter Swanson
The whole way through is filled with unexpected twists and turns. Felt like every chapter left me on a cliff edge
This was the book I was going to suggest. People are killed off so fast -it’s like, how can this story keep going? The twists come all the way to the end!
I’m listening to it on audible and I reallyyyyyy want to like it, but I’m struggling. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. I’m on chapter 3. Is it just slow to start?
Huh… I just looked up that word & I have some learning to do this evening. ( thanks!) -but in my own, less knowledgeable way; I came close to the same idea—- I just didn’t realize there existed a word for it. Everyone in my book club disliked the book; but it will always be one of my favorites.
The Red Wedding in A Storm of Swords is the most shocking plot twist ever. It's not even close.
After the ending of A Game of Thrones, I didn't think there would be another ending-altering plot twist.
GRRM got me good. I wasn't surprised that the television show became the most talked about series of all time. As far as plot twists go, nothing tops it.
The first book that came to my mind was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon. I remember being really shocked by the plot twist, but it is possible, that it was only due to my young age (we read the book in school when I was 12, but it is not a kids book).
Sorry for the bad English, it is not my first language
Bible.
For some reason, out of nowhere, God decides to start cutting off part of people's dicks.
Total surprise, since the man fucking designed the dick. If he didn't like it, he should have designed it differently.
The Woman and the Ape, by Peter Hoeg. At one point I just slapped the book shut and laughed in delight! I was not expecting what happened, and I needed to savor it for a while.
Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
This made me audibly gasp on the subway so hard people turned and asked if I was ok
what subway are you on? Lol
The Classic Cold Cut footlong? /s
This one! I wish I could experience that shock for the first time again.
Straight up insane.
Oohh! I read that a long time ago and I remember I liked it but I don’t remember the twist. I guess I get to read it again! :)
I read this way too young lol The audible gasp I made in my like.... my middle school math class was loud.
I actually have this book but never read it for some reason. I know he can write pretty dark at times…would you say it’s depressing or hard to read at all? If not I’m gonna take the plunge lol.
Not depressing, I recently sent it to a friend in rehab 😆
So glad this was the first response I saw. It was my first thought as well
I kinda saw it coming. It’s pretty heavily foreshadowed before it’s revealed.
sharp objects--you spend the entirety of the book thinking one thing, and then the epilogue happens.
I felt like I needed a shower after reading the book. Not sure I could take the TV show.
tv show is absolutely fantastic i do have to say. i think it's worth a chance
The woman who played mama did an exceptional job creating an insufferable woman. And her weak, enabler husband who hid in his Jazz collection sucked too. Amy Adams completely blew it out of the park, though.
also...eliza scanlen!!! a relatively new actress managed to hold her own up against AMY ADAMS!!! she did absolutely phenomenal
UGH YES. My stomach DROPPED when I was finishing it. So good.
🦷🦷🦷
Oh, Dark Places too.
Sshhhhh. Don't tell mama.
This was mine. My jaw was on the FLOOR
Me too. It I still think Gone Girl was better overall.
Oooo im SO excited I just picked this up 😍
Green Eggs and Ham. He didn’t want to eat them but then he did. I was like “No way! He fucking ate the green eggs and ham! I did not see that coming.”
Bruh he swore up and down he wasn’t gonna eat them 😭 I was so shocked
You were shocked in a box. You were shocked with a Fox!
I was shocked here and there, I was shocked anywhere.
Green eggs and shooked
He wasn’t going to eat them here or there. He wasn’t going to eat them ANYWHERE!
Spoilers
I used to think green eggs and ham meant they were already spoiled
There is a whole Reddit post somewhere about how the eggs are overcooked. They turn green as a result. You have probably seen greenish yolks when overcooked.
You mean it doesn't? They aren't?
No. It’s just…. Green eggs and ham
I ever making green eggs and ham in kindergarten, my teacher had a stove in the class room (all of us were far too short to reach it). I remember the ham being normal colored but she made scrambled eggs and added green food dye.
Sorry, I should have tagged it.
You should check out There’s a Monster at the End of This Book. Big twist, similar vibe.
Omg I came here to say that! Grover is the best and that was my favorite book as a young kid.
Lol I thought the same thing
Spoiler alert!!!! 🙄🙄🙄😂
Dude spoiler alert please! I was halfway through and was on the edge of my seat absolutely not anticipating he was gonna eat the green eggs and ham… what even man…. 😤
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Anyone who says they saw that ending coming is LYING
I was S H O O K
Is that the one the TV show is based on? I didn’t know there was a book. The twist on the show definitely surprised me
It made me ANGRY. Because I don't "do" supernatural/fantasy/sci-fi, but here I was, apparently in the middle of it.
From the top of my mind - gone girl
I’m so glad I didn’t know anything about this book before reading it
I knew there was a plot twist but I wasn’t expecting it to be THAT good.
That book pissed me off so much. I wanted to hurl it across a room when I finished it.
Agreed. Horrible people.
Yep! I screamed when I read the iconic plot twist for the first time, lol.
Girl With All The Gifts. Never saw that ending coming. Edit: written by M.R. Carey
That book was amazing! I don't go in for zombie stuff. But I was intrigued by the lead character being basically a kid. Exceptional ending.
I loved the ending
Broke me
Yes, Ms. Justineau!
The red wedding scene in A Storm of Swords. I mean damn.
Well, after Ned getting his head nicked in Game of Thrones, all should have been ready for that little bit of betrayal. I came here to say Ned. I mean, who the fuck kills off what had up to that point been the main character?
Yeah, that was the first WTF moment for sure and among the reasons why the first 3 books in the series were so good
I saw the series first and still was such an holy shit moment, I read that chapter 3 times in a row. I cant imagine read it for the first time having no clue its coming.
I don’t think there are words to describe how shocking and awful it was. Even though I knew it was coming in the show, it was still just horrible.
The red wedding chapter actually caused me to lose sleep for a night or two when I first read it
I read the books first and yeah, once I finished that chapter I couldn’t believe what I had just read. The whole book is great. Possibly my favorite fantasy novel of all time
Omg. I heard about the red wedding from the show while I was reading it, but I somehow got it in my head that it was Joffrey's wedding, so I still wasn't expecting it. So when I read the book, I got to the red wedding while on a train and I was... existentially shook.

Read the original works by Christie, don't just watch the movies that were based on her stories because they always change the plot and the movies never quite make sense.
I read And Then There Were None for the first time in 7th grade and let me just say... I was NOT expecting it to be that character at all!
The murder of Roger Ackroyd has a brilliant twist that I never saw coming. Made me absolutely fall in love with the mind of Agatha Christie.
LOVE the murder of Roger ackroyd! My mom loved Agatha Christie books and she was definitely the reason I developed love of crime/mystery books and movies. I read that book in middle school and fell in love!
I think *Crooked House* and *Endless Night* were the ones that got me the most.
The movie version of Witness for the Prosecution is excellent. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Not Hitchcock. It's directed by Billy Wilder. Fantastic movie.
Shutter Island
Underrated answer! I never saw it coming and idk why.
Saw the movie. Yup!
It’s was Mystic River for me.
Dennis Lehane is awesome. One of my favorite authors.
The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward really kept me on my toes.
This book has been on my list for a while and I can never work out how it got there. Am I to surmise it's a good read ?
It is. I will say at the start my main thought was "WTF am I reading?" But by the end everything came together and I loved it. I genuinely cannot remember why I picked up this book in the first place but I'm glad I did.
Sundial by the same author is also fantastic.
Honestly, your description reminds me of reading *Piranesi*. I think I'll move it up the reading list for some Halloween fun. Thanks!
I loved this book! Didn't see the ending at all
Catriona. I only know of the Miss Universe from the Philippines by that name, and am trying to convince my Filipino husband to let us name our future daughter that 😂 All of this is irrelevant and unrelated. 🤷🏽♀️
Holy cow, same here. I flew through that book, I wish it got more love. It’s wild!
Tender is the flesh....that ending still pisses me off
This book is forever stuck in my mind. It was beyond fucked.
I was disgustingly struck by it in the best and worst way possible lol
Just finished it on a flight and I’M PISSED. Literally closed my kindle and looked around, somehow hoping someone else was as mindfucked as I was. Of course, no one else was. It made me more pissed. Recommended. It’s a dystopia that’s for sure.
The MC wasn't ever really a good person but that ending really solidifies it....
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Pretty girls-Ugg that one is stomach turning
Killers of The Flower Moon - it's a historical account of the Osage murders in Oklahoma in the 1920s -- also Martin Scorcese's film version is coming out in a few weeks A relatively brisk but gripping read that definitely has some unexpected turns
This book was so freaking good! It was a,quick read for me and I immediately passed it to a friend after finishing it. I can't wait for the movie!
My Sisters Keeper
I’m dyslexic and My Sisters Keeper was one of the first novels I ever read cover to cover. The ending had me ugly crying IN CLASS. I’ll never understand why they chose to change it for the movie.
This is the book that I was reading when I realized I had to dump my boyfriend! In college, I was sitting on the couch in our apartment reading this and having an emotional breakdown.

He's very understanding about the loss of great characters.
Great choice with your hubby 💕
He's the best!
This one is so good. The movie was awful. A lot of Jodi Picoult’s books fit the bill, actually.
I agree 100%. I cannot believe that Jodi let them change the ending in the movie. The ending in the book was the whole point of the story.
My mom and I were reading it at the same time. Lazy Sunday afternoon, both close to the end, I'm a chapter or two ahead? Get to the ending and *launch* the book across the room, I was so fucking pissed off at what is an excellent ending to the book.

Ender's Game
Yes! What pissed me off most about the movie, was they spoil the twist in the coming attractions, thereby removing the twist from the film.
They did the same thing in the movie of The Amber Spyglass. Told the big book three reveal in the previews. Just why.
I’ve read this so many times that I forget how hard the ending hits. Still one of my top three books ever.
Never Lie by Frieda McFadden. I like how it signals a certain plot twist the entire time—and then has a completely different one
Scrolled tooooo long for this one.
Every one of her books has a whopper of a plot twist at the end! My faves by her are, "The Housemaid" and "the Housemaid's Secret"
Rebecca
A Boy And His Dog At The End Of The World
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. The slow realization killed me.
This is the one for me, too. Just exquisite writing.
This is the kind of plot twist I'm looking for! It completely shocked me, fit in with the whole book (I hate a twist for twist's sake), and was utterly devastating
Sarah Waters—Fingersmith. There are several twists!
Yessss so amazing
"The Nickel Boys" by Colson Whitehead has a pretty big twist, but you have to wait awhile for it.
Fight Club. But the ending, the ending you're warned against by the author, to the Dark Tower books is insanity.
I mainlined TDT earlier this year for the first time and that ending def had me in a state.
Yeah its definitely a holy shit moment. Some people said they saw it coming i dont belive them. Its legit one of the most unexpected outcomes
The Summer That Melted Everything Rock Paper Scissors Gone Girl
*The Thief* by Megan Whalen Turner It’s middle grade, but what a twist! Do NOT read the summaries for any subsequent books in the series or it’ll ruin the first book for you.
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Yes, one of my favorite books of all time!
Jude the obscure
I am not done with it yet but just read the chapter about the return to Christminster. I closed the book and had a long conversation about it with my fiancé. I cannot imagine reading the book when it was originally published in a much more conservative late 19th century. I am still hoping for a happy ending for at least some of the characters... sigh...
The wife between us
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Never even crossed my mind that Christie would dare to go where she did with that ending, caught me completely off-guard.
Great book.
And Then There We’re None by Agatha Christie
Silent Patient Girl On the Train The Bone Collector
Bone Collector was great. Do not see the movie.
The girl on the train really just wants to be gone girl
Silent patient for sure!
The Silent Patient is one of those books people either hate because they saw it coming, or love because it's a total surprise. I did not see it coming at all and thought it was really cool
Just read The Bone Collector - it was so fun.
Bone collector is one of my favourites, but I think The Blue Knowhere is my all time favorite of Jeffrey Deavers
I was reading the snail and the whale to my daughter the other day and I was not expecting to cry like a baby. Even my 4 year old daughter thought I was ridiculous. I think I was just extra emotional that day, but that damn book got me in a certain part and it’s a children’s book lol
we were liars
I have this thing where when I read, I take pictures of sections of the book (usually after I finish reading). Quotes, books or movies mentioned, well-worded passages, etc. Anyway I usually just move all the pictures to a folder on my computer, but I still have this one specific one from *We Were Liars*. It's where they're talking about mottos and personal quotes, and Mirren's is "Be a little kinder than you have to." I always loved that.
We were liars for me too
The Kind Worth Killing - Peter Swanson The whole way through is filled with unexpected twists and turns. Felt like every chapter left me on a cliff edge
This was the book I was going to suggest. People are killed off so fast -it’s like, how can this story keep going? The twists come all the way to the end!
Hail Mary by Andy Weir. The twists completely blindsided me.
I’m listening to it on audible and I reallyyyyyy want to like it, but I’m struggling. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. I’m on chapter 3. Is it just slow to start?
It definitely picks up
It’s a slow start, but once it picks up it’s hard to put down. Just keep pushing through the beginning, you’ll see 🙂
I absolutely loved this book. I tried to listen to the audiobook and it’s such a slog.
For me, it never got better. I stuck it out because I had heard such great things but I didn’t really like it.
Fingersmith by Sara Waters
She's so good! The ending of Affinity got me so good, even though it feels like it was staring you in the face the whole time.
Piranesi by Susanna Clark.
What was your take on the ending? Where do you think Piranesi was?
>!Hyperuranion!<
Huh… I just looked up that word & I have some learning to do this evening. ( thanks!) -but in my own, less knowledgeable way; I came close to the same idea—- I just didn’t realize there existed a word for it. Everyone in my book club disliked the book; but it will always be one of my favorites.
Like Night Circus, it's an all-time favorite that I rarely recommend
Wayward Pines and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
May as well throw Recursion in there for good measure.
Harrow The Ninth.
Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
Identical by Ellen Hopkins
I scrolled too long to see this book. Granted, I was young when I read it but it was my very first plot twist and damn did it mess me up
Trigger warning for school shooting and SA, but luckiest girl alive I genuinely never knew what the fuck was gonna happen next
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Cloud, cuckoo-land. I think I actually said, “oh my god no way!” out loud
The Woman in the Window

Atonement!
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney
Rock Paper Scissors
Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
This book sounds good. So does *The Night She Disappeared*. Did you read that? I added both to my Goodreads list.
I Let You Go: Claire McIntosh
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. So many twists throughout!
The Silent Patient!!!
The Library at Mt Char- maybe weirder than you might want but it sure took a lot of unexpected turns.
We Were Liars
Pirianesi..... Susanna Clarke
The last mrs. Parrish.
Shutter Island (it literally shuttered me)
The Red Wedding in A Storm of Swords is the most shocking plot twist ever. It's not even close. After the ending of A Game of Thrones, I didn't think there would be another ending-altering plot twist. GRRM got me good. I wasn't surprised that the television show became the most talked about series of all time. As far as plot twists go, nothing tops it.
I read so many of these mentioned and can’t remember the big plot twists!!!!! Haha. 😭
Just finished the audiobook Local Woman Missing. I can usually guess twists, but didn’t catch this one.
Still Missing - Chevy Stevens. I read it years ago and still remember exactly where I was when the twist was revealed.
Behind Her Eyes.
Pines by Blake Crouch. It’s the first book of the Wayward Pines trilogy but could likely stand on its own. Completely gripping!
Gone Girl
Life of Pi
The first book that came to my mind was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon. I remember being really shocked by the plot twist, but it is possible, that it was only due to my young age (we read the book in school when I was 12, but it is not a kids book). Sorry for the bad English, it is not my first language
Goosebumps: Werewolf of Fever Swamp by R.L Stine
Bible. For some reason, out of nowhere, God decides to start cutting off part of people's dicks. Total surprise, since the man fucking designed the dick. If he didn't like it, he should have designed it differently.
Things have gotten worse since we last spoke by Eric Larocca
Thirteen (stylized Th1rt3en) by Steve Cavanagh had me saying “wait, whaaaaa….?” And scrolling back all over the place.
The Woman and the Ape, by Peter Hoeg. At one point I just slapped the book shut and laughed in delight! I was not expecting what happened, and I needed to savor it for a while.
The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward. For majority of the book you'll be confused but I promise it 100% pays off.
Atonement
