Review: Run

Run by Blake Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Run by Blake Crouch from Ballantine Books via NetGalley.  This book was first published in 2011.  It is out again now!

Run by Blake Crouch gave me an anxiety attack from the first few lines.  Run is an apt title because that is exactly what I wanted to do from the very start.  If you read a synopsis in advance, you might have an idea of what is happening in the beginning.  I did not do that, and I suggest you don't either.  It is much better to let the story unfurl as the characters learn.  It ramps up the intensity.  I also probably should not have read this right before the election because things were already tense.  This book did not help matters.  Without giving too much away, the book is rooted in science fiction but could easily happen in real life, the only difference would be the cause.  If you are already spiraling, maybe save this one for later.  But if you are ready to RUN, I'd pick this up right now.
