The Kind Worth Saving by Peter Swanson
1.5
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
TRIGGER WARNING!!! School S****ing! Below are my thoughts summed up, into points:

  1. This is not a book that will have you guessing who the criminal is.
  2. The male narrator voice always did this weird swallowing noise that drove me MAD! I almost DNF’d the book because of it.
  3. This is a medium paced book, that could’ve been a lot shorter, since you know who the criminal is very early on in the book. A real bummer if you’re looking for a true mystery that’s not solved so immediately.
  4. The characters weren’t fleshed out, and were pretty unlikable. 
  5. An easy read if you’re looking to take something in a hurry that’s mildly entertaining.

I DNF’d Peter Swanson’s Nine Lives and if I wasn’t committed to finishing this book, I would’ve DNF’d this one as well. I need mystery books to have MYSTERY in the entire book, not just the first 5 chapters.
