Jan - 4.5 stars. Jan said this one had tight writing, it was a page turner, but the time changes between flashbacks and present time were difficult to follow.

Add a CommentYou should know that calling this a "thriller" is a bit of a stretch. It is more of a character study, with chapters focusing on each person on the airplane and their connections to each other and to the events leading up the crash. If you enjoy going deep into the psyche of individuals, check this out. If you want a survival story and whodunit, look elsewhere.
I found that the plot moved rather slowly and there were parts that were uncomfortable to read and what I felt were unnecessary but all in all, I enjoyed it.
Pointless book about a group of people killed in a plane crash none of whom I could care about.

Overall, the story is paced nicely and characters intriguing, though like most others here, the ending is disappointing. Given that Noah is a show runner for many Emmy award winning TV series and a seasoned novelist, it's somewhat surprising he couldn't come up with a twist for the ending.
Started out well enough with an interesting storyline. But then I felt like the wheels came off and hated the ending. I can't recommend this book
This book started and ended well! The bulk of it was kind of pointless though, I feel like the author was just filling the pages.
A good, suspense filled read. Found myself wanted to get to the end to find the answer to the mystery.
This book was too slow and the plot was left wanting. I finished it, but it was a struggle. I kept thinking that the plot was going to get better but it never did. Not the worst book I've ever read, but far from good.
A true suspense guaranteed to leave you intrigued until the very end!
