From the very beginning this had me hooked. I loved how the first chapter was a middle of the action POV and then everything after was leading UP TO that point.
Absolutely amazing and will recommend to anyone who wants an edge of your seat thriller.

Okay, so if I’m being honest with myself; self-help books really just aren’t my cup of tea. But this one spoke to me more than others have in the past.

I grew up around Correctional Officers of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), so I have a good amount of knowledge of how the system works.
I honestly can say that Mr. Stockham did a fantastic job at describing the jails that inmate Everett had been through, and the story was very compelling from start to finish.

The premise of the story is great; I mean, everyone has a name to give, right?
But, when Alan wasn’t “disappeared” the way Sarah was promised, and then she ended up having to handle it herself? It just didn’t land where it was supposed to.

I didn’t want to like this.
I’ll point that out first.
OMG! THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!
This is a mixture of all the books I read growing up in one in a way. Very nostalgic in a new and different way. And the end?!?!?!

I am a huge sci fi fan when it comes to movies, so I figured it would be the same for books; this however, changed my mind. The concept of the book is amazing, but I think it’s a little too confusing for a book. It would make an amazing movie though.
My first graphic novel, and I have to say I love it. The animation the writing is all so good.

WOW! Just amazing. Made me feel like I was watching a thriller movie (and it would make a good one).

The first half of the book was really slow and I almost DNF'd; however, once one of the twists hit it had my attention. I was listening to the audiobook at work and almost had to stop because I was zoning out and ONLY listening, not doing anything work related.

I have been a fan of F∙R∙I∙E∙N∙D∙S for years (since I was at least 6) and Chandler was always my favorite. Most of my sarcasm comes from him I like to think.
I knew Matthew Perry had some things that he went through, and I knew that he had a hard time staying clean and sober; but this book was heartbreaking. Even more so because he still is living through the hard part. I still love him no matter what and will forever stand by him as a person and an actor.
