If done well like Sixth Sense - they're awesome, if done badly like most every other M. Night Shyamalan movie, they are terrible :). I haven't read many books that had tried it so I can't come up with examples from the written word. I think twists have to be handled carefully. I have come to the conclusion that if the aliens invade or the zombies rise I'm toast ... I just can't run away ;).<br />Tasha<br /><a href="http://tashasthinkings.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Tasha's Thinkings</a> | <a href="http://www.wittegenpress.com/wp_main/blog" rel="nofollow">Wittegen Press</a> | <a href="http://fantasyboysxxx.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">FB3X (AC)</a>Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-5337987374519194722015-04-29T21:34:31.678-04:002015-04-29T21:34:31.678-04:00I don't know about the accepting as fact, that...I don't know about the accepting as fact, that I do too.
