A certain amount of my issue with this book is quite simply it not being the style I like. I am more into mysteries and this is pretty much pure thriller. I did read all of it.I don't like bad guy POV. The author uses the bad guy in the beginning but then neglects him and that just felt wrong. His POV ended up seeming unnecessary.I absolutely hate sudden midscene POV shifts. Too many of those.Site is misused.1 shows up in place of letters multiple times.Devlin is shown as a very smart and observ...
Blake Crouch can write. Let's make sure there's no mistake about that. Snowbound was a unique experience for me. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the writing. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the characters. I certainly thought the hook for the plot was a great idea. That's not why I couldn't finish. None of that. Snowbound was the first book that I had to put down because of a plot development, in my mind, so off-key it ruined my trust in where the narrative was going. I thought about it. I was actua...
I don't usually write reviews of bad books but I feel it is my duty as a reader to keep anyone else from wasting their time reading Snowbound. I will say the writing is good. That is all. The plot is the most ridiculous, least plausible plot I have ever come across. First, a middle aged mother is kidnapped on a dark & stormy night. Her husband is a lawyer who after being questioned by the police, on the night of the disappearance, grabs his daughter and runs away to start a new life under a new
This was a good story but parts reminded me of a fast action film, some parts are a little improbable, however, it was an interesting mystery with a surprising ending. When a new lead in a very cold case arises a man and his daughter set out on a hopeful journey to find their missing wife and mother, who mysteriously disappeared five years earlier. I Think our society has far too many twisted people in it, the depths of human depravity are astounding. Jeffrey Kafer's narration was done very well...
Sooooooo good. One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time! Different than I expected. Wow! What an ending.
I found this to be another solid read from Crouch, not one that knocked my socks off but good none the less.The pacing was great and I found this to be a fast and engaging read. The characters were fairly likeable but there were none that I really connected to that well. I was somewhat disappointed with the character of Javier, after first encountering him in Afraid I expected a much nastier character, I don't think he was developed enough.The story line was well executed although it was certain...
(view spoiler)[Seems like the bad guys went to a great deal of trouble to take these women to such a remote area in Alaska for what was basically a prostitution ring and baby selling operation. Kinda dumb. (hide spoiler)]
Honestly, I don't remember the last time I quit reading before the end of a book; my Aries personality is always up for a challenge, and come hell or high water, I try to finish what I start.Not this time.The whole thing started with a few plot glitches and a titch of improbability, but it held my attention. By the time I got about a third of the way in, though, I realized that trouble was brewing; I was quite happy to put it down when anything else to do came along - shaving my legs had more ap...
I'm a fan of Blake Crouch and loved 'Abandon' and the 'Wayward Pines' series. However, 'Snowbound' just wasn't as good in my opinion. It was a page turner and interesting, but it didn't have me on the proverbial edge of my seat. It did have a nice little twist. I think the problem for me is rooted in the fact that the father/daughter and FBI agent who are the 3 main characters lack depth. Even though they are going through the motions to solve a case of disappearances, they didn't seem like tang...
