5 stars
4.5 overall. Slower book with few story lines that I didn't care about, but the ending was one of the best I've read. Totally worth the wait.

This was a re-read. Discovered more of how amazing the book was. The way it progresses from near future to one capable of taking on an alien enemy is amazing. I can make a character study of Luo Ji, an excellent one, and of course the escapist Zhang Behai who does the impossible and meets the improbable.

This is what I wanted Girl on the train to be. Crisp writing, ability to transport the reader seamlessly into the story-almost King like, and brilliant intertwining between the thriller and solar eclipse.
I initially downloaded the free 10 chapter from Amazon, but once I finished it I couldn't wait until April 17th. I was lucky to get it through Netgalley and devoured it in two mornings.
I do not like to summarize or spoil the story but have to say the story is multi-layered, almost literary in analysis of human emotions and the driving force behind some of our sinister actions.
The anxiety factor was something I could directly relate to, having been through anxiety attacks, which was brilliantly injected to the story making you feel for the characters.
Fantastic book.
