It's ok.. should've been an epic-fantasy.. Too much, too fast. Only positive was Vance's writing - a magic in itself.

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.

Sad, sweet, horrific and well handled
Psychological thriller more than horror, using it only as a background to a study of human character during trying times, the end left me misty eyed,

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.
