Device Free Weekend by Sean Doolittle
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
I thought the premise of this book sounded really interesting. A bit of a new take on the traditional locked room mystery.
However, I ended up not finishing the book right around the halfway point.
I really didn’t like the dialogue between the characters. It seemed like they all tried to talk like they were Ryan Reynolds. It all felt a bit like trying too hard to be funny. Like the characters should have been on a sitcom instead of in a thriller.
I also wasn’t a big fan of how technical and philosophical the book tried to be, it just didn’t seem to fit in with everything else that was going on.
I’m sure many others will enjoy this sort of philosophical thriller so to speak, but it wasn’t for me.
