I was given an ARC to review.
I enjoyed this book. It is a light read but fun and exciting and kept my attention. I loved that even though I knew there was a twist at the end it was not at all what I had expected and I look forward to continuing the adventure in future books.

Wow, this is really poorly written. Completely action and dialogue, with no descriptions and world building involved. I swear that this book does not have a single adjective in it.

The 7-11 year old group read Chase by Linwood Barclay for March and it was much more enjoyable than our dud last month! We had a great conversation about how suspense was built from the very first sentence and about the action and violence which was probably more than in many other books we had read - being on the run from a secret organisation who wants to kill you leads to more danger and even death. Most of us loved it, although some thought a little too violent and the impatient among us hated being left in suspense! This is definitely one of our highest rated books - the 4 coming from someone who stopped early as it was a little too violent as the scientist attempted to put the dog down and was later killed.
We rated it:
7.5 / 9 / 4 / 10 / 10 / 10 / 10 / 10

I LOVED this book! It was creepy, it shocked me and made me feel every emotion possible!
*My tiniest complaint would be that the author talked down to the reader and explained things that didn't need explaining, even for a middle grade.

Predictable. I love Linwood Barclay's adult books, but a little disappointed by this children's one.

Really really enjoyable book. Fun story with fun characters. Almost knocked a star off because I figured everything out well before it was released, but since I'm not the target audience I forgave that and rated it well since I enjoyed it so much.
