Overall I don't think that it was a bad book, it just didn't quite deliver to the same standard of Marr's other books. Overall most of the characters I didn't really care for so following their stories was less compelling.

The big difference between Passengers and the other two is that the vast majority of the plot takes place during the same day; while the book has the same multitude of POVs as The One and The Minders, and each character has their own particular drama, the story never has the opportunity to stray too far from the fact that each of them is in imminent danger. I think this consistent feeling of urgency is both something I personally need to be invested in a thriller novel, and something severely lacking here.
Not only did I spend most of my time reading this book bored and wondering what the point of literally anything that was happening was, by the 75% mark I was so annoyed by every single character that I didn’t care if any of them survived. It felt more like five separate and equally uninteresting plots than five parts of any kind of cohesive whole. It seems harsh to say I only finished this book because I paid full price for it, but unfortunately it’s also true.
