A fast paced and exhilarating read - I was constantly on the edge of my seat. This book has action and excitement, moral dilemmas, and overall chaos, and it would make a great movie. The narration of the audiobook was also really good. No real complaints about this book (except for some of the decisions that the main character made, he should have listened to his wife all along). The ending did leave me feeling unfinished though.

Wow! This was a very fast paced and intense book. The characters were so well thought out, as I was reading it I felt I was in a movie with the images going through my mind. It was beautifully written and the plot was planned so well. A few times I felt it could have been cut down but that could have just me wanting to know what was going to happen next. The ending made me sad at one point, slightly disappointed in another and guessing. Anyone who loves blood, cars, car chases and intensity please read this.

i don't usually read thrillers, but i wanted to read more books by southerners; SA Cosby is from newport news, va, and it was wild reading this book, recognizing locations that i'm familiar with, and putting all of bug's excursions on a mental map.

this felt like an action movie in book form and was hard to put down. i finished it in three sittings.

i didn't love the pained feeling i was left with at the end, when bug is standing in the wake of so much desolation and destruction with no real resolution, but that was a matter of preference rather than writing, and

i would read more from this author when i'm looking for an action-packed, suspenseful read.
