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.
World War Z by Max Brooks
It’s a collection of interviews with a U.N. news correspondent and various people who survived the zombie war. It’s great. He breaks it down into sections like pre-war, initial outbreak, all out war, on the offensive and post-war.
The stories range from a soccer mom down the street to a Chinese admiral on a nuclear sub.
As a side note the audiobook is fantastic and features a full cast but make sure you listen to the full version if you do the audio book because the original recording was abridged but still award winning
I was going to say this!!
It’s a shame the movie was associated with the book. It’s not actually a terrible movie but it is a terrible adaptation.
The book is fantastic though. Definitely one more should read
