I love thrillers, crime novels, horror books. Basically, I'm interested in anything that's going to hold my attention and keep me guessing.The Cut-Out exceeded my expectations in a few ways. I'll start out by saying that I read a lot, buy a ton of books, spend hours at the library, and overall just love stories. Needless to say, I've read my fair-share of bad books, sloppy plot lines, and weird characters. This one really stands out.I know a few of the reviews said that this book was too wordy, but I actually liked the fact that the language was so rich. The way that this story is written really lets you get into the head of the characters, makes you curious, makes you wonder about the world that you've suddenly found yourself dropped into. Referencing things like childhood haunts or describing the way you kiss someone gently on the cheek are, to me, the things that really make or break a novel.This novel makes you care about the characters, and that's really tough to do.If you like spy stories, thrillers, and books that are going to make you think and wonder, you'll enjoy The Cut-Out.
