The One by John Marrs
4.0
So before I started this book, one of my Book Club members was talking about this book and stated it was A LOT going on. So many characters and so much going on left me apprehensive on reading it. I heard there was a Netflix series on this, and books are usually better than shows/movies so I gave it a try.
In the beginning, I was like nope. This isn’t it. The chapters were so small, had the anticipation of getting to know the character taking too long for my liking. I truly appreciate John Marrs work of art so I kept going. And I’m so happy I did. I was drawn to each character and slowly appreciated the build up. I didn’t want to skip to the name I drew to the most, I simply just didn’t want to put the book down. Definitely looking forward to the Netflix series. And I’m super happy I got to pick the authors brain when he joined our Book Club meeting Nov 2020. It allowed me to appreciate his work even more.
