The year of the locust.

After many, many years of waiting, the sequel to I am pilgrim by Terry Hayes has today been released.
I found the first book a cracking spy thriller which was well received by critics and readers alike.
I have just downloaded it ready for a long drive next week and am looking forward to listening.

I preordered this on Amazon on 4th January 2017, naturally, the card I used for the preorder is now defunct, trying to change it to my new one melted Amazons computer and they cancelled my order. I don't think Amazon are used to orders taking so long to fulfill

I’m 30-odd chapters in. Bit disappointing so far.

I'm doing it on Audible and am about 2 hours in, so far I'd call it underwhelming. This morning I'm about to set off on a four hour drive so hopefully it improves.

Bugger me, it's gone bonkers.

I’m about 10 hours in to the audiobook. It’s picked up but sounds like I haven’t reached the bonkers bit!

[DoctorX]

I think I’ve reached the WTF bit

Enjoyable, not a patch on I am Pilgrim.

Mirror the thoughts above, the first two thirds of the book was pretty decent though not as gripping as the first but for the last third it seemed like the author either had a stroke or started tripping and lost touch with reality.

7 hours left.
Given up.
What a disappointment. I've started I am Pilgrim again to make up.
What on earth was the bloke thinking of when he came up with the final third and his editor wants flogging.

I think I’m gonna skip this.

Probably loved pilgrim more than any other book I’ve read - had to rush home from work to pick it up.
