It was a good read with a lot of what I would argue are true human thoughts and actions during some emergency which is never defined. Enough is said to allow you to assume what is happening and the book takes on an air of what would likely happen in a true emergency. However, it’s a book and a story so the expectation is for the story to come to a point and have a defined end and it doesn’t. It’s almost as if the author gave up or ran against a hard deadline to complete the book. Had it not been in the soon to be on Netflix section and on sale I’d be more mad about it but I fell for the hype. 1 star or 2 is fair but mostly disappointed I read it.

Who cares about who named girl liberty……I bored me from first page……ugh

The book kept me enticed the whole way though, finished it in 3 sittings! Wish there was more closure at the end, kinda a let down to end where it did.

The novel moves a little slowly and at times the detail was tedious. Still, I found myself wanting to keep turning the proverbial page. It’s fairly short and the ending caught be by surprise. Not surprise of the exciting type but surprise in that the end came in a sudden and unsettled way. It’s like the storyline was finally set and the book ended.

Good for a flight or a trip.

The writing was engaging but never really went anywhere. I kept waiting for more and was disappointed when it never came. I finished the book feeling confused and a bit let down.

That’s it, just unsatisfying.

Hated it at the beginning, started to like it, then hated it again. Ending made me look for the other book (which does not exist). So many unsolved plot lines?? I just don’t understand. Also I hate the way gross smells are so heavily elaborated upon within the first 50 pages.

What a thriller!

Heard review on NPR that this book was good one written during COVID. Wish I’d read reviews here before purchasing. It wasn’t dreadful. But it wasn’t satisfying either.
