I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

5.0

Wow. An epic. At first, the 800 page length slightly put me off, but as Hayes says in his acknowledgements, it had to be, to do the story justice. The 'Pilgrim' main character is really well written. I like how at first, it throws us into the deep end, write in the middle of a mystery with pretty much zero context, before spending 75% of the book on exposition! Consequently, Hayes fleshes out quite a nice little world, and means that the actual plot is amazing.
