REVIEW ON PINES BY BLAKE CROUCH
PINES
by BLAKE CROUCH
Can I just say I am in awe! I mean I can't get over this book. Blake Crouch did it yet again.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Crouch was born near the piedmont town of Statesville, North Carolina in 1978. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated in 2000 with degrees in English and Creative Writing.
Crouch published his first two novels, Desert Places and Locked Doors, in 2004 and 2005. His stories have appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Thriller 2, and other anthologies. In 2016, he released his novel, Dark Matter.
Crouch's Wayward Pines Trilogy (2012–14) was adapted into the 2015 television series Wayward Pines. Another work, Good Behavior, premiered as a television series in November 2016.
REVIEW
So, our protagonist Ethan Bruke is a secret service agent and is assigned to find to other federal agents in Wayward Pines, Idaho. While entering the small town he meets with an accident. Everything goes dark. When he wakes up, he finds himself near a stream. He walks into the town. Everything seems fine, the hospital he was in, the coffee shops, the houses, the pubs, the parks, everything, but still something was out of place. What is it that people there seem to be helping him but isn't? Will he ever be able to leave the town and go back to his family? Why is it no one goes out of town or should I say what is it? Will Ethan ever be able to discover the biggest truth of his life?
I would just like to say one thing-
MY VIEWS
I already mentioned in my first line that I am in awe! I can't get over it. I remember I finished it at about three in the morning and was sitting another half an hour blankly staring at the wall. Couldn't believe what I just read. Started co-relating things with the real world, if it really was possible. I have always loved the scientific world with a smell of political satire. That's the bliss point actually. I just realized I have been reading too much of sci-fi. Need to read something else too. Apart from that I just loved it. Please go and check the book out. It is also made into a T.V. show but it doesn't tally that much with the book. It's a real page turner. Let me know if you have read it and if our thoughts tally. If you haven't go and grab it now. That's all folks. If you like it share it with your book lover friends.
Oh! The nasty book review I promised, sorry I couldn't post it. I am not being able to finish the book itself. But as soon as I finish it, will post the review ASAP.
Apart from the review, I wanted to talk a bit. For anyone who doesn't know, book blogs are not just about book reviews. So, I was researching and have come up with something fun. I am working a whole lot on this. So, here comes the good news. A fun segment is coming your way this week ( tomorrow most probably). Nope, I won't say what it is. That's a surprise you see! I hope you will enjoy it. Until then stay tuned, lots of love, turn some pages, BYE.
