Query: Manipulated and Loving It

The Last Time They Met manipulates the reader. Fortunately, in this case, I really ENJOYED being manipulated. While I was reading it, I was aware that the story was being told in reverse but could't understand why--until the end. Although I was generally enjoying it throughout, the surprise ending enhanced my experience and elevated my ultimate opinion of the book. Yeah, I guess you could say it was gimicky, but it worked for me. I certainly thought about the book a lot after I finished it, which I cannot say about most books, and one of the things that stayed with me the most is that, after finishing it, I realized that the main character was someone completely different. Ha-ha!!
