I am left stunned, stumped, and stupified almost near the end when there is the revelation. I just stopped reading. It took me a while to understand what was happening. Once I am back on the same page as the author, I continue reading, but that is not the only twist. There are many more till the last page. Finally, you don’t know if any of the characters were what they pretended to be.
