So I am reading a book over this weekend called The Witness by Sandra Brown, and not only did it make me procrastinate with my work, but it also forced me to read through all 430 pages. I picked this up at the library entrance where they have free books to read on the bus home. And I was like, dang! Because the story started out in the middle of the story, and had two stories going on. After each chapter there would be a cliff hanger, and then it would move to a different time of the story and it would end in suspense, and it would just keep on going like that. And when the two stories converged was close to the climax ending, and it was so crazy. And sometimes it would go to a different character viewpoint, and the tension would just build.
The story starts with her in a car crash, and she saves her baby, and pulls out an unconscious man as well. At the hospital she claims that he is her husband, and he has amnesia. She is a wanted woman, and plans her escape. And its just crazy.
These stories are difficult to work correctly, but if they are, it works very powerfully. Ever read a book that started from the back to the beginning? I never have, so maybe I should search. What is your favorite type of writing style? First person, or something out of the ordinary?
