14 | !! This book provides examples of: |
15 | |
16 | %% * ArcWords: A few, including variants of "always sixteen", "everyone loves the dream, but I kill it" and "boooooooomblastandruin". |
17 | %% * ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The pots of honey]]. |
18 | * DoubleSidedBook: A tricky palindrome of a novel, you can start it from either cover. |
19 | %% * ImmortalImmaturity: They are, after all, "always sixteen". |
20 | %% * MindScrew: As with all Mark Z. Danielewski works. However, this one is more complex in the way the prose is written and less the plot. |
21 | * NarrativePoem: Quasi-example. It reads similar to a poem, but it has no meter or joining characteristic, making it fit in the blurry area between a typical novel and a narrative poem. |
22 | * PaintingTheMedium: |
23 | ** The letter "o" and certain words are always [[RainbowSpeak typed in green or gold]]. Also, [[AC:THE CREEP]] and all instances of the word creep are always in purple. |
24 | ** The book is the same stories told from 2 slightly different perspectives and the synopsis on the dust cover does the same. |
25 | %%* PostModernism: Definitely. |
26 | %% * TitleDrop: Near the end of both sides of the book. |
27 | %%* UnconventionalFormatting: It's a Mark Z. Danielewski novel, what did you expect? |
28 | * UnreliableNarrator: Both of them. The same story is woven, but Sam and Hailey's accounts differ, often showing themselves in a sympathetic light. |
29 | %%* UnstoppableRage: Sam and Hailey both have this. |
