So, this looks like it was Blake Crouch’s first book and it shows. I didn’t hate it but it’s clear he has definitely evolved as a writer.

 

I love apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic books, so this book has my name all over it. And being a thriller, it hooked me right away. Overall, this was a fast-paced read, full of action, with just a few spots carved out to slow down and catch your breath.

I really struggle whether or not to give this 3 or 4 stars. It’s a good book, it’s action packed, and as a reader, I was entertained. It’s not entirely unique and it’s not entirely memorable and most importantly, it’s subpar compared to his later works. But, it’s not bad. Blake Crouch has just created some incredible writing as of late, so this earlier work doesn’t shine as bright.

But, with that being said, this is a great book to read while traveling. It’ll keep you distracted and engrossed!

3.5 stars up to 4 stars.
