This was definitely thrilling. True to Blake Crouch it didn't have the ending I was expecting. Nothing about this book was what I was expecting it to be. This was a creepy and thrilling weekend read.
I know it is not fair to this book but I was extremely disappointed in it. I gave it a 3 stars because it was well written. To be fair my disappointment was all in expectations. I was expecting something else and basically got an average thriller. I should have done a little research before buying. Didn't realize it was one of his older books and definitely didn't realize what it was actually about.

Not as captivating as his other book that I have read. Typically I enjoy multiple perspectives but I found this one hard to follow and too many characters to remember. Satisfying ending.

This is a great read if you are in the mood for some fast moving hokum. It's a well plotted story nicely told, and short chapters help it all to rattle along at a great pace. The juxtaposition of two timelines adds interest and provides a few opportunities for very effective storytelling. Crouch nearly drops the ball right at the very end, which felt a bit rushed, but I'll forgive that.
Well worth the read, and if you do so you will be much better informed than whoever wrote the blurb, which is wildly inaccurate. I can see why some people have got upset about that, but my advice is to ignore it, go in with an open mind, and enjoy the ride.
