WANTED: EXPLANATIONS OF THE TWISTS

I've finished reading Wanted last night. It's the last in the series of eight books of Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars. I think it only took me less than two weeks to finish the series, because the books can actually be categorized as easy-reads. It was kinda chiclit-ish, with mystery as its central theme. I won't go around telling the plot again, because I've already said it when I reviewed the fourth book Unbelievable that can be found here.

So okay, since the first four books of the series tells about A, and the fourth book reveals who A was, the other half of the Pretty Little Liars series focus on solving the mystery on who killed Ali. Plus, a new A appeared. So, as usual, it was a page-turner.

There were many unexpected twists too. And when I say many, I really mean it. Haha. Halfway reading the series, I've read a review that unfortunately contains a spoiler. I felt like I'm going to die, because it won't be exciting anymore. But really, that twist was only one of the many. After reading all, I was mindfucked, because the initial twist was again twisted. Twist within twist. How cool is that?

The twists were really great. I didn't expect it. Even the littlest idea of some twist didn't occur to my mind. And that is again my problem with the series.

The twists were surprising, such that it seems impossible. Not that it can't happen in real life, but in a way that when you read the series, the facts relating to the twists were loosely given. Some facts just don't go along with others. Plus, there were a huge blackhole. I mean, I'm looking for more explanations. How did A do all that? Things like that.

Like what I've said in my previous entry, I still recommend you to read the series because the characters are interesting. Plus, it is really a huge page-turner because of the twists. :)
