20% Mind-Blowingly Awesome 70% Dumb, Uncool Chuck NorrisNow I’ve read 3 or 4 books by Blake Crouch at this point in my reading life. All of them have been amazing.Then, I read Pines.Was I really reading a book by the same author?If I was editor of this book, most of it would be cut or significantly revised.For the first 70% of the book, I wanted to DNF it. I couldn’t care less about the main character, Ethan Burke. How many times can someone escape? It seemed like a bad version of déjà vu.How ma...

And the base emotion underlying it all that was getting harder and harder to ignore.Terror.The strengthening sense that something was very, very wrong. As with The Magicians, I have to confess I like the TV series Wayward Pines far better than the book. Yes, I know the "reveal" has been spoiled, but that really wasn't my problem with it. Pines is built on a fantastic idea - no, really, a truly epic idea - and that strength just about manages to carry the book despite some poor writing, an ass...

”Since the Industrial Revolution, we’ve treated our world like it was a hotel room and we were rock stars. But we aren’t rock stars. In the scheme of evolutionary forces, we are a weak, fragile species. Our genome is corruptible, and we so abused this planet that we ultimately corrupted that precious DNA blueprint that makes us human.” Ethan Burke was sent to Wayward Pines, Idaho, to find two missing secret service agents. One of them was his old partner and for a brief time his lover. Going ...

Don't dare read any spoilers before you start these books. Just don't do it.Secret service officer Ethan Burke is sent to Wayward Pines to find two missing agents. Once he gets into town he realizes that he is having moments of memory loss and this town is a tad bit on the odd side. He can not get calls to go out to get in touch with either his office or his wife and son. The sheriff in the town is a different sort of all his own. Everywhere Ethan turns is something that seems off in this sma...

I'll say it again: Well. That was... something. At the risk of alienating all of my most excellent friends who've loved this book, I'm going to be honest and say that while there were things that I liked about it... I didn't love it. I had quite a lot of issues with this book, so you know... let's get this ranting party started! :DSecret Service agent Ethan Burke wakes up next to a river with no idea who he is or where he is or why he is wherever he is. Thus begins his quest to figure out what h...

LOVED THIS 🥳🥳 can’t believe it took me this long to get to it. Onto book 2…

shii... I rly love it

4.5 - I need to next book ASAP.

You know when you find a new TV series and you just want to binge watch it? This is how I feel about his books.

I read Dark Matter last year and loved it so I was excited to read more of his work. This time was no different. Another thriller sci-fi that keeps you on adrenaline and that you can't put down.

Trust me you want to go into this knowing nothing. Just read it.

This didn't end up being what I expected but I really liked it and would recommend it!

Wow.This is a damn good book.Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything about it, because spoilers will damage the charm of this story.

I don’t watch TV, so I haven’t seen anything about the television series and had only read a few of my GR friends reviews and the theme of all of them...
