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 non-sci fi readers stop reading! So the story goes. Fascinating if you can get past the profanity that laces the trilogy.
review 2: I love a good old thriller. This one had me really quite confused at times (which is a good thing), but overall I'm feeling a little bit underwhelmed by Pines. I had an idea of the big reveal before it came. I hadn't worked out every aspect but I also didn't have a gasping OMG moment when everything was explained.I feel like when the reveal came it went on f... moreor far too long and I just wanted to get back to the story. Only to find that it basically ended straight after the reveal. I suppose that this is the first book in what I think is a trilogy so this book may have been used for a bit of world building but I feel that all books, especially thrillers should be able to stand alone as a story even if they are not stand-alones.The style of Blake Crouch's writing is very action oriented. It doesn't spend too much time on speech or description of the surroundings but focuses very much on everything that the main character, Ethan, did and felt. I quite enjoy this style as it leans towards more plot driven writing. However, in this book I got a bit fed up of being told exactly how each movement was made and how it felt to make it. It became tiresome and almost as tedious as when an author spends a whole page describing the colour of the sky.I did enjoy this book overall, and I have bought the sequel. But I didn't by any means love it. less
