Review: A knock-your-socks-off thriller
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 12, 2010
I bought this book shortly after it came out because the cover was catchy and it sounded like something I would enjoy plus a few friends had proclaimed it to be really good. I have a love/hate relationship with thrillers. They can sometimes be overly predictable and formulaic. I liked the idea of the camera, something a little different.This book did not disappoint in the least. It was fast-paced and energetic, yet I never felt we were being given too much information or stalling in the least. The writing - and editing - was absolutely fabulous.This is a difficult book to review without giving away spoilers. Maybe vague, but it was very timely and while it was, to a point, a typical thriller, but was a very atypical storyline from what I expected. The camera angle (heh) was interesting as was the premise of what happened to Mark over the course a year.I will admit that I winced a few times while reading this book and I found myself finding parts of it really hard to read, I think given the subject matter, it was difficult.Having said all of that, I was completely captivated while reading this book, first by the camera, then by Mark's ordeal and then by what happened next.I would recommend this book to those that enjoy thrillers and especially for those that are new to kindle and looking for a book to get lost in for a while. An excellent read!
