I’ve never read a book that was truly unputdownable, but this was exactly that. Such a great read! The characters in this book were so well done and the way he writes is griping. Highly recommend!

An absolute page-turner that, despite its flaws, never fails to keep up the tension. Felt like exactly what I needed, super fast-paced to the point I finished it in one sitting.

I’ve seen the movie before, and even though I knew most of the twists, the text was still very worthwhile. Lots of background and perspective shifts that a movie simply can’t portray, and the movie also changes the main character into an addict, which impacts the plot thoroughly.

A solid thriller that I’m not surprised at being very popular. I found this one more compelling than his latest release, The Last Word.

sydoodle's review against another edition

hopeful sad tense medium-paced

4.0

This was pretty sick. Awesome suspense, read it all in one sitting. Only qualm is that there was no reason for this white man to write several racial and derogatory slurs - we can tell the bad guy is bad from the murder and stuff, you don't need the unnecessary and unimportant to the plot language.
