The Rule of Three
by Eric Walters
4.5
This book is awesome. Eric Walters is a great writer, I've always known that, but for some reason, I don't read his books all that often then get shocked when I do. This book is not only well-written, but it feels so real. Even when they're doing some crazy stuff with an ultralight and explosives made from kitchen supplies it all still feels very humanly capable, like logically if people could work together in a crisis they could make it through, and do anything so long as they were organized and knew what they were doing. I think that's why everyone likes his books so much because they feel so human. The character struggle with ethical dilemmas that I was even struggling with as a reader as they navigate a world without cars, resources and the internet. It's really scary because Walters makes it feel so real a not far-fetched, and the more you think the more you realize that something like this could happen any day and it would play out pretty much like it is in the book, only you'd better hope one of your neighbours is ex-FBI or something or you'll be dead.
I thought having some time might come up with a more concise review but honestly, when I think of this book I get all word jumbled and just think "wow wow wow that was good." I didn't give this the full 5 stars just because even though it's amazing it's lacking that special something to make it an all-time favourite, but this is certainly a book I will not forget anytime soon. It kept me up late at night reading and it kept my head spinning (I would say on the edge of my seat but honestly I was either up till past midnight lying in my bed or walking along the sidewalk because I just couldn't sit down). I'm bummed that my library does not have the rest of the series because I REALLY need to know what happens next (if you do know please message me as detailed spoilers as you can asap, thank-you) because I honestly can't guess it. I just hope they all get out okay and the power comes back or something. But honestly, I have no idea.
This book is good. Read it, but only if you have the sequels right beside you.
