Lexicon by Max BarryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lexicon by Max Barry was a trippy read. You're flashing between character storylines and timelines. It started out very much an action thriller which wasn't what I was expecting for a book about words. I almost put it down thinking I wasn't really in the mood for a high octane story. But I stuck with it long enough to get to what I was looking for and ride it out to the end. Words have power, and it is scary to think there might be a set of words out there that render you completely under someone else's control. Not everything was as it seemed either which keeps you guessing throughout. I like that in a book.
