Your One Biggest *Hope* for OOP

One of my favorite things about reading the books the first time 
through is that I get too caught up in them to remember to look for 
the plot twists. After I'm done I think 'I should have been on the 
lookout for that', but it allows me to enjoy the books more, being 
caught by surprise.
