craigmatthews87 's review for:
Influencer
by Adam Cesare
This is probably a 3.5* for me, and I was going back and forth between a 3 or 4* - however the prologue is SO good that it deserves the higher rating. Like Scream meets The Strangers meets Inside, I was gripped immediately.
The rest of the book doesn't quite live up to that, but its still an excellent story. I've seen a lot of reviews mention You, and it's a very apt comparison. The exploration of manipulation in the social media era is genuinely chilling at points.
I did think that certain events and character changes happened very abruptly. It's probably not necessary to explore why in detail, but somethings that would likely take months in real life seems to be hand-waved over a few days.
The audio presentation is great - all 3 narrators are strong, the sound effects and music are used just enough to be effective without becoming overwhelming. Exactly how I hope all audiobooks like this are done.
