These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant
3.0
I'm not really sure where to begin...I liked it, I didn't love it. The chapters are short so it's really easy to read a big chunk in one sitting, the premise is interesting, but it's lacking in something. There were some moments where I couldn't tell if the writing was weak or if it just read that way because the book is told from the perspective of a man who's been isolated for close to a decade and lacks some social skills.
The tone of the first few chapters reminded me of one of my favorite books, The Road, and I think comparing the two so early is where I went wrong. Also, I'm not sure why it's listed as a thriller, it's more in line with general fiction.
Overall, it's a quick read and I did like it. The short chapters made it really hard to put down.
