decided to read the book after I saw it on Peter reviews books on YouTube. I typically enjoy the books he recommends, but this one was just okay for me.
What I enjoyed:
- great hook (although it falls flat in this book). I love the idea of having to choose between crashing a plane or saving your family. That alone had me so intrigued
-it has me on the edge of my seat waiting for what was up next as thrillers should
-predictable but in a good way
What I didn’t like as much:
- book left a lot of questions unanswered and the motivate behind the antagonist seemed weak
- some popular tropes were used that I find to be over used (the guy you least expect it to be is the bad guy, the guy you think is bad is good..etc)
- the ending
Overall this is a really easy read and it read more like a movie than it did a book. I believe this one will be adapted into a film. This is one rare occasion where I believe the film will fair better than the book.
