A review by dharaiter
Famous by Blake Crouch
3.0
Frankly, I'll read anything by Blake Crouch. I actually have, most of his books. Famous is one of his earlier works and you will know that just by reading the first chapter.
The plot, although not unique, kept me curious the whole time. It was unpredictable. And, man, can Crouch get into the skin of the human psyche and create disturbing characters. Lance was vulnerable and terrifying both at the same time and he didn't show either of those sides.
I had trouble with the editing of the book. Blake's writing, as usual, was flowy and smooth, but there were places where I thought the grammar was confusing, and there were typos. It basically seemed like a rough draft. The book also needed closure. It was very abrupt. It seemed like the last act was missing.
It's a 3.5-star book for me.
