The story and plot twists in this book are extremely screwed up and unthinkable. However, the book was very well written and I loved Julian Barnes style, minus his sick and disturbing plot twists.
4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling
Yes, I'm choosing a Harry Potter book. This is my favorite book because there is so much to it. I can't imagine writing as much as JK Rowling did just for one book and there is so much mystery to it.
3. The Shack by William Paul Young
The Shack is a fictional Christian book but whether you're a devoted Christian or a hardcore athiest you'll love the plot of this novel. There is continuous mystery and danger and really convicts a person on if they're holding grudges or not and right when you get to the end and you think everything is ok, it's not.
2. Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
One of the best stories ever written. Even if you think Holden Caulfield is a snobby little punk you have to appreciate Salinger's style of writing and how much he crafts his characters, especially Holden. Loved this book.
1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
This is the American story. The roaring 20's were a giant pop culture party with corruption everywhere. Something I've always like about The Great Gatsby is comparing it to today's society and how things are still pretty similiar. Plus, a character like Gatsby doesn't come along in a lot of stories and he is probably the most fascinating character in any story I've ever read.
