Recent Reviews:

The Three by Sarah Lotz (received through NetGalley)
4 stars

This is a very strange and fascinating book.  Four planes crash on the same day and the three children who miraculously survive become the poster children for a fundamentalist end-of-days movement.  I don’t want to go into too many details as part of the fun of this book is trying to guess just what is going on.  I thought the format which included interviews, transcripts and electronic messages was interesting and I read it all compulsively.  I am not sure all the details always made complete sense but overall, it was an enjoyable summer read.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
