A review by ofateaspoon
The Eight by Katherine Neville

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.

I figured out what was bugging me about the pacing: they were told not to talk to anyone about the mystery. And they keep running into exactly the right people who mysteriously already know about it, telling them their bit even though they’re not supposed to, and getting the next bit of information to keep them going. Ultimately, it’s not a mystery, it’s a series of conversations they were TOLD NOT TO HAVE OR ELSE [UNSPECIFIED DIRE CONSEQUENCES]!
