4.0

It may have been a little predictable with a protagonist that was semi-passive towards his external conflict at first, but the more you read the better it gets and as you read you'll find the narration to be very enjoyable with clever and cheeky references to reality and the things writers go through. This story could definitely be a movie.

It was okay. Dragged in some parts. The twist was good.

3.0

A really cool idea and I was fooled just about as long as the central character was about the final twist; but the titular plot inevitably fell short of the promise. Of course in the real world of writing there can be no such plot, but the dance revealing it as the 'real' plot unfolds was intriguing.
dark mysterious

Figured the “big twist” out super early into the book. Still well written.

This was a fun read. Only giving 3 stars because I knew who the mystery person was right away, and I never figure it out right away.

I used to be a lover of thrillers and suspense – mainly mass-legal and crime thrillers many many years ago. I gave up on those because those suspenseful thrillers no longer interested me – until now!

This book, The Plot, has changed everything in my reading life for the better. It sucked me in from the beginning to the very last page. The story centers around a failing writer who stumbles on a great story plot of another would be author. He eventually steals the plot once he learns that the other would be author dies without writing his book. The rest of the story is a sit on the edge of your seat nailbiter to the very last page. I am in love with suspense again because of this extraordinary work of fiction. This book is for anyone who has been yearning for a true, authentic and original thriller. This book will not disappoint.
