Hi Everyone,
I'm after some book recommendations! It seems my favourites are ones with twists in them, or with "Ooooooh...I get it now!" moments. Recently read My Sister's Keeper and loved it.. and my all-time favourite is Jessica by Bryce Courtenay. Not really a fan of murder mysteries, horror or Sci fi. So hit me with recommendations! Which book/s blew you away? |

Most of Jodi Picoults other books have twists in them.

Thanks Rainbow
 I've heard that elsewhere too, so I'm currently reading 'The Pact' - very intriguing so far! |

"Before I Go to Sleep" by SJ Watson. I could not put it down. It is a psychological thriller and has some amazing plot twists.

Another vote for "Before I go to Sleep".
In a similar genre "Sister" by Rosamund Lupton. Just as page-turning as "Before I go to Sleep". Will definitely be stalking this thread for other ideas! |

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters.
There is is BBC (I think) adaptation of this which is really good too. |

The best plot twist ever was in 'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks. However, it really is not a book for the faint hearted LOL

I would rather have my fingernails pulled out than read any more Jodi Picoult.
Dan Brown has written several other books apart from the Da Vinci Code series. I liked the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, but his other books are even better (IMO). Steph |
