It was a pretty mediocre book, the premise was more interesting than the actual execution.ni won't be reading next books with this character.

3.5 stars. Intriguing new character for An established author. An expert tracker makes a living finding missing people for rewards. Very well written but a touch too much going on. I liked the character so much it didn’t really matter that the mystery was muddled.

Pretty cookie-cutter take on a consultant/investigator who works parallel to law enforcement premise. This one is the standard kidnapping plot and the main character is only slightly interesting, typically only when he is envoking his 'unique' trait of calculating the probabilities of each conclusion in his head. Writing seems unnecessarily long sentence to sentence, for whatever that means. Gets a little better when the story widens and the killer's M.O. is seemingly revealed, but then disappointed that the true motive and events were so basic. Still not sure what The Never Game actually is or refers to.

Kinda slow and unnecessarily long. Didn't realize it was a series and ended on a cliff hanger :(

The Never Game features a unique main character in Colter Shaw as a tracker living on rewards associated with missing people. Shaw has other novel features like a penchant to assign percentages to possibilities, having been home schooled and a lot of rules imparted by his dead father. CBS is making this character into a television series. The book is good but not great although good enough to likely try the next one in the series. 3 stars.
