ninetalevixen 's review for:
The Vanishing Game
by William Boyd
This has been sitting in my Kindle library since I picked it up for free in 2015, and only now have I gotten around to actually reading it. It's a quick and sufficiently entertaining read, more style than substance (with the kinds of photos you'd put on a writing moodboard but usually wouldn't include in the actual book). While there is a clear climax, there isn't much in the way of falling action or resolution ... it kind of just ends, so that the whole episode feels like just a blip in the protagonist's life.
And honestly, I just don't buy the repeated use of "Oh, I was in a bad movie where I learned the exact skill that will get me out of this alive" — especially since I've watched Mythbusters and have friends who just can't resist debunking these scenes during a casual movie marathon.
