I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

5.0

Really 4.75. This is a really good and entertaining story that is surprisingly deep. My only complaint, and it is minor, is it is being sold as a thriller. It has the elements of a thriller: spies, terrorists, complicated plots, and some suspense. But much of the story takes place in the past and as such isn't "thrilling". Don't get me wrong, it is a great story, but it feels like it is being pushed as a thriller because someone (the publisher?) didn't trust marketing it as just a great story. Is it fair to dock it .25 points because someone put Thriller on the cover? I say yes, but I also say read it.
