Wow, Bilder im Kopf!
Das Buch war echt mal etwas komplett anderes. Ich hatte die ganze Zeit das Gefühl, nicht zu lesen, sondern einen Film zu schauen. Die Mischung aus Thriller, SciFi und Mystery war echt spannend, bei einigen Szenen hatte ich direkt Herzrasen. Dazu kommen das Kleinstadt-Setting, jede Menge verschobene Charaktere und ein Schreibstil, der echt entertaining ist. Ich bin gespannt auf Teil 2 & 3!
Okay, this was somehow weird. The beginning was exciting, mysterious and well-established. The ending was just the same. But the 200 pages inbetween were ... yes, weird. Our protagonist, Ethan, did nothing but run, hide, run, hide, run, hide and - you wouldn't think so - run. There wasn't anything particularly exciting about it, since you always knew he would be going to survive this torture, and the author every time seemed to want to remind the reader of how good his running scenes were. Except they weren't. As the ending was very well-written, though, and made up for another nice story, I have ordered the second and third volume to read them as well. As to the ending (which I will not be spoiling now), the second book is supposed to be less suspenseful and not full of action, but more about character development, which I'm very glad of. Blake Crouch's writing style was exhausting. Literally. Exhausting. And so were those sentences. Paratactic. And exhausting. So, so exhausting. The characters were relatable, especially Ethan and Theresa, but I still have the feeling to not really understand them. I'll rate this with a good three-stars-rating. And, perhaps, the second and third volumes will be able to surprise me.
Very fun and suspenseful book! Can't wait to pick up the sequel, Wayward, at the library later today! I love the mystery, the story line, and more. Plus I also just love idyllic towns with cute houses (yes, even if they are covering up a harsh reality - that's all minutiae for me), so this book is right up my alley! :-)
what...
As I have many ways to consume books at the moment, I cannot decide easily which one to read right now or next. That’s why it doesn’t seem like I devoured this book but I did. Maybe it is a little too soon for me to say considering I only read two others of his work, but I think I am going to read whatever he writes from now on. He’s just made the list of my auto-buy authors. If I wasn’t confused in general these days or distracted by so many books as always and forever, I would read all the other ones in a day. I enjoyed this so much and will continue with the series soon. With this being said, there was one thing that hold me back from giving it 5 stars. It still is an enjoyable read but that thing -I am not writing explicitly(which I couldn’t decide whether it was a spoiler or not)- would make this book even better in my opinion.
