A review by rubeusbeaky
Pines by Blake Crouch

4.0

Up until the last 20 pages, I was enthralled by the writing in this book. There are so many echoes, it reads like someone trying to recall a memory from long ago, present and past and dreams and things-others-have-told-him all getting muddled. The fearful situations were universal and real.
The ending, by contrast, was a little hokey, and I found myself hoping for just one more turn of the screw to make it "realer" again.
A heart-pounding page-turner, for sure! Well worth the read.
