Surprise me
May. 10th, 2004 11:10 amLast Thursday, I wrote (in a comment on my own journal):
My problem with the present book that I'm proofing is that I see the Big Surprise Finish coming like a neon truck in a tunnel. She only THINKS she's going to surprise me when the mysterious faceless scientist character turns out to be someone from our protagonist's past.
OK, I'm gratified: Ms. Asaro DID manage to surprise me. It was someone from the protagonist's past, but NOT the deceased husband. She successfully misdirected me.
