mrb404 's review for:
The Ferryman
by Justin Cronin
As seen mentioned by other reviewers, I am also a fan of Stranger in a Strange Land, Logan's Run, 1984, The Matrix, and the TV series Lost, and I too was blown away by [a:Justin Cronin|45315|Justin Cronin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1680289530p2/45315.jpg]'s [b:The Ferryman|61282437|The Ferryman|Justin Cronin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659983263l/61282437._SY75_.jpg|96626676]. Cronin's dystopian novel is a masterful blend of elements from these classic works, while also standing out on its own as a thrilling and thought-provoking read.
Like Logan's Run, The Ferryman explores a world where age and longevity are of utmost importance. The Matrix comes to mind with the theme of the individual vs. the system, as well as the intricate world-building and immersive storytelling. And like 1984, The Ferryman showcases the potential horrors of a society where control and conformity are prioritized over personal freedom.
But The Ferryman also carves out its own unique path, with a haunting and surreal setting that recalls the philosophical questions posed in Stranger in a Strange Land. And much like the TV series Lost, The Ferryman keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unpredictable plot twists and enigmatic characters.
Overall, I highly recommend The Ferryman to fans of dystopian literature, sci-fi, and anyone looking for a gripping and thought-provoking read. Cronin has truly outdone himself with this one.
