Which books are told in the most interesting / creative/ mind bending ways? How does it add to the book overall?
My all time favourite is Ella Minnow Pea where the book is a series of letters. The characters have to think of more inventive ways to write their letters as an increasing number of letters are outlawed as the book progresses.
Honourable mentions include:
Maribou Stork Nightmares where the narrator is trying to suppress his dark past by allowing himself to slip into hallucinations of a whacky south African safari adventure.
Flowers for Algernon where the narrator becomes more articulate by taking part in a scientific experiment.
Not sure if this is the most inventive but I haven’t seen this done so well before
In Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow there are 2 devices I think were very well done. First of all one chapter is in 2nd person but it is very well done and made me sob into my book (if you know you know)
Also later on in the book there is a chapter where 2 of the main characters play a video game and the whole chapter is from the POV of their video game characters? It’s kind of hard to explain because it is so weird but very very good and a beautiful story of friendship in this chapter it was very interesting and I haven’t seen it done before so it was a cool read!
