Pines by Blake Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've read a few Crouch novels now and he definitely has a distinctive style. He's like the Michael Bay of novels. Well, maybe better than that. There is a ton of an action. In fact, I was starting to get distracted by how little the main character ate and slept. It seemed incredible that he could keep going. The sentences and paragraphs are short, too so it keeps you turning the pages, adding to the feeling of urgency. Still, setting aside the fine science of it all, it hangs together and all the weirdness makes sense in the end. It's a fun ride and when it's done, it actually makes you think.
