Nowhere on Earth
by Nick Lake
Thank you to Netgalley for providing a copy of this book
Nowhere on Earth was a fun, adventurous read. I will not spoil too much because all you do need to know before picking up this book is in fact: Emily and her brother survive a plain crash and are then being hunted.
Mysterious, I know. To know what this is all about you will have to read it.
The book is fast paced and exciting and action filled. For some reason, however, I did not manage to connect with the protagonist, Emily, at all, which became a problem because the book is written from her perspective and focuses a lot on her inner monologue, her thoughts and feelings, which had me sometimes a little exasperated.
I absolutely enjoyed the plottwist e.g. the answer to WHY they are being hunted. I think finding that out was my very favourite thing about this novel and I liked it considerably better from that point on. Overall, I did enjoy it and even though the ending was satisfactory, I felt like there should have been more. I can't really pinpoint my finger on it but I felt like after the whole running-from-men-with-guns thing, there would be more of a climax and that was kind of missing for me.
Nevertheless, I recommend this to anyone who likes fast and easy adventure stories and has fun with a good survival trope. It also helps if you like a bit of sci-fi next to your gathering-of-firewood.
