review 1: Dit is het derde en laatste deel van de trilogie. Het verhaal begint waar de vorige is geëindigd. Het is dus wel een goede zaak om alle drie de delen te lezen. Dit is vooral in het begin een wat bloederiger verhaal dan zijn voorgangers. Later verloopt het wat rustiger. De plot zi...

review 1: I like Blake Crouch. I was excited to read Snowbound, more so because the settings were Alaska, (my home state) and Arizona, (where I lived for a bit). Rarely happens both places in the same book. The settings were realistic for me. Where I was lost was more in the characters and...

review 1: I can't say much about this one without giving away major plot points. It reminds me a bit of a Dean Koontz novel. Overall, a page-turner of a plot. I held back one star because there are a few plot holes that didn't seem to be cleared up at the end of the novel. I'm wondering if...

review 1: This book moved at a faster pace than the first in the trilogy (Pines). However, I found the main character less likable in this entry, despite what is learned about the other characters. Yes, I realize he is supposed to be the good guy, but Crouch's attempt to make Ethan a fla...

review 1: This definitely wasn't what I expected. It was a great deal of run fight for your life run - but in that type of situation there really is nothing else you can do. I enjoyed the book but the way it all came to and end was a little maddening. I did not like that I was hoping for m...

review 1: An interesting premise - in 1893 an entire town's population in Colorado disappears, in 2009 a group comes to try to find out why or how. I had some trouble bouncing back and forth between time periods. The author liked to insert language from the time period, but it was often gi...

review 1: Meh....remained "meh" throughout the entire "storyline." Great premise for a book, poorly developed characters and plot. I'm not sure I'd read this author again (definitely wouldn't pay for one of his books!) It was like reading an awful "B" movie. Not one character made me e...

review 1: With every new book or story that I read by Blake Crouch, he keeps climbing up the charts of my list of favorite authors. This collection of 10 short stories is definitely worth reading. The only clunker in the group may be "The Newton Boys' Last Photograph", just because it's o...

review 1: I normally don't review books, but I thought others should know what they're getting into. My complaint is not about the gore or gruesome antics of the characters in the book, although they did seem to push the limits in some story lines. I purchased this book thinking it was a...

review 1: It was... Interesting. I absolutely love good thrillers, the more blood the better. This short story, however, just didn't do it for me. I was yawning through all of it. Blake crouch is a great author, but this was just disappointing. The book didn't flow, if that makes sense. My...

review 1: This is the second book I've read by Jack Kilborn, immediately picking it up after 'The Screaming' because I was so impressed. Going back to the same author well is not something I normally do. I had also read some F. Paul Wilson, but the other authors in this collaboration were...

review 1: Ok, so I went into this knowing that the ending was the main cause for so many bad reviews. I think that's why I didn't fully get absorbed as I usually do (especially fast paced books like this one). The premise was good, but I guessed the ending (kinda sorta) right before getti...

review 1: Первый телепроект Найта Шьямалана “Wayward Pines” выйдет в эфир уже через несколько месяцев, поэтому самое время познакомиться с книгой, по мотивам которой он снят. Или даже не по мотивам. Судя по трейлеру, первый роман трилогии Блейка Крауча пересказывают на экране один в один. ...

review 1: Science fictionNot-so-perfect characters make them relatable and reel in the reader with the secret slowly revealed in Wayward Pines. You are absorbed in the characters and storyline and the relationships between the characters before the strange science fiction turns that make n...

review 1: Good pacing, interesting story, believable character, everything seems ok for this second installment in the series. Yet something was a bit off, while I liked it I felt the story was not as twisted and mysterious as the first one, nevertheless it was good. Most characters again ...

review 1: The first book was entertaining, the second book began to crumble, this third book fell apart at the creative seams. Crouch gave up on characters. His characters could have progressed and developed throughout the series, but instead they regressed into the stockiest of stock char...

review 1: As far as trilogies go, the story ended quite well. In Pines, we are introduced to the major players, the pragmatic philosophy of survival and the fate of humanity. Typically, the middle book in a trilogy drags, but not in this set. Wayward (#2) was better than the launch (Pine...

review 1: This is a rare example of a sequel that is just as good if not better than the first in the series. I had no idea where the series was going to go but it all followed a wonderful, logical series of events that never seemed forced or ridiculous despite the incredible overarching s...

review 1: I love mysteries, thrillers, and serial killer books, but this one was so gory and graphic I couldn't finish it. It's one of the first books that I haven't finished. No matter how bad a book is I always try to give the book the benefit of the doubt and finish it even if it feel p...
