Pines by Blake Crouch

4.0

I really wasn't sure about this one at times. I loved the description. And then I loved the beginning. I loved beyond the beginning. But somewhere after the middle, maybe 3/4's through, I started to think it was going to be a complete bomb. Um, it wasn't. And I cannot wait to read #2. Some of the writing is a bit trite and the main character is oft bent over, breathing heavily, with his hands on his thighs. Most characters push down on their legs to help standing up. Annoying and repetitive enough that I noticed but still fantastic storytelling.
