Imagine that you’re reading a novel, a detective story or a contemporary romance, and the main character is a fairly soft-spoken guy with no unusual or extraordinary talents or abilities. He’s funny or witty or likable in some way, but not in possession of super-powers or magical abilities or extensive technical skills. But when you reach the climax of the story, suddenly your main character sprouts wings and can shoot lasers from his eyeballs.
How would you react to that turn of events as a reader? Would you wonder where it came from? Would you glance back through previous chapters to see if the author had set it up in some way? Or would you just roll your eyes and chuck the book across the room because you’re so disappointed?
