I would add in any book at all by Dennis Lehane. I've just read about 6 of his books recently, and they all had great twists in them...sometimes several...that kept each story really interesting!

Company of Liars by Karen Maitland....an astonishing book that defies pigeon holing into any one genre. It has intriguing plot twists and turns and jaw-dropping surprises yet it totally believable and ultimately satisfying. One book that will linger in your imagination forever.

What was the big twist in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? It's a great book, but I don't recall anything that shocking.

The Harry Potters - all of them - were not shocking, none of them had a true wow-never-seen-that-coming moment. The fantastic world is just very well built - that's what's so original about this book, and that is it. I totally agree.

Snape is actually a good guy, Harry Potter gets killed, but doesn't die, oh and Narcissa Malfoy saves Harry's ass. :)

I think no one so the third one. I mean did you really see Sirius Black being the good guy, and Wormtail being Ron's rat.

I don't actually remember (I was about 6 years old when I first read it), but everything pretty much builds up to the point where the 'twist' is revealed. We get all the information throughout the book and in the end we see that, for example, Ron's rat is actually Wormtail, but it's not like it was completely unexepcted, it lays somewhere beneath the surface of your mind.
It was an amazing series, nonetheless.

Why does every single list has to include Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. There are tons more shocking books out there!

I think Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected warrants inclusion of this list, even if its a collection of short stories.

You could add it; it's easy to add books to lists. At the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."

Several books on this list have no twist at all. That's not an attack on their quality but I'd question why they're on this list.

For a novel with real twists try reading Nfudu - Skirts, Ties, and Taboos. It's set in 1960's Paris. It has themes of love, crime, war, etc. I never saw any of it coming.

I agree. It makes it hard to select a new book from the list because I can't trust the list.

I wouldn't have put the Hunger Games/Harry Potter books on this list as none of them were really "shocking" unless people are counting the character twist in the last one...?
