colburn0004 's review for:

The Bright Lands by John Fram
4.0

A little bit of an oversimplification, but this felt like Friday Night Lights mixed with Twin Peaks and written by Gillian Flynn. All around a great debut novel that has Fram on my future watch lists for what he does next.

The book is not completely without faults as I feel the last hundred pages or so can seem to drag at times as more and more issues just kind of pop up. I also think that same hundred pages takes a bit more suspension of disbelief than the rest of the book. But overall this was a thrilling read that I devoured in two days.
