A review by ngallion
The Last Town by Blake Crouch

4.0

Not quite as good as the first two, but there’s no denying that this book starts with a bang, continues with a bang, and ends with a bang. This thing MOVES. The main issue I have with it is that while there’s a lot of action, the actual plot progression is actually pretty slow. I could summarize what happens in this book in a few pretty short paragraphs because so much of the book could be summarized by saying “a fight ensues.” I also found the ending to be unsatisfying, but this was always going to be a tough one to land. Without spoiling anything, the ending is vague enough that you almost have to fill in the blanks yourself to determine whether this has a happy ending or not. That’s not really what I wanted from this, but a more concrete ending may also have been significantly less satisfying than what we got. Imperfect, for sure, but certainly not bad.
