Bridget O. (sixteendays) - reviewed on 2/12/2022 + 130 more book reviews

I ended up really, pleasantly surprised by this book.

I was a fan of the short-lived television show when it aired, and always meant to give the novel a try. Finally, all these years later, I got to it.

While it's very fast reading (could easily be finished in one long sitting), the first half of the book is almost so lightheartedly pulply and void of emotion that it doesn't seem to take itself seriously enough. It was fun, but I didn't feel engaged. The second half, however, changes that completely as we are with Ethan as he fights for his life against a few different groups.

While I knew from the beginning WHAT Wayward Pines was, because of the show all those years ago, I still found myself nearly as in awe as Ethan as the truth is revealed to him. In the end, I just really had a great time reading this.
