If you’re looking for a thriller that is fast paced from start to finish this isn’t for you. However, I enjoyed the plot of this book, which is certainly unique, and the exploration of human morality. It’s worth a read but there’s better thrillers out there.

Ehhhhhh! This book had a super interesting plot and premise, but I could not get past the cringe writing and dialogue at times. The last forth of the book was also just okay compared to the interesting baseline plot of the Chain. Once the second half of the book started I guessed the "twist" right away, unfortunately.
