I Am Pilgrim

Is this worth reading? I have a copy at home that I was going to start next, but just had a look on Good Reads and the first five reviews are all one star! It's not a short book, so I really want to know if I'm going to enjoy it before choosing it over the rest of my list! 😁

I read it about five years ago and liked it so much I kept it in case I want to read it again. I rarely do this. It's big but quite an easy read, although I recall some of the violence being quite graphic.

Depends what kind of books you like. I read it and did not like it, but it’s not my type of book. If you are into Jack Reacher style books, you will like it. I found it too far fetched. The first review on Goodreads gives a very fair summary.

Thanks both.
What type of books do you usually enjoy @Mozartinmyfanjo?

I loved it, and it isn’t my style of book at all. In fact I know several people who feel the same.

this was sat on my kindle for a couple of years after a friend recommended it to me, and I just never got round to reading it. Finally settled down to it on holiday this year and found to really hard to put down. I thought it was excellent.

I loved it, just don’t get too excited about the sequel, which is due out on 13th October.
i pre ordered the sequel on 29/05/2017 and get an email every so often to say the publication date has been put back…

Its not bad, I’ll def read the sequel, nothing comes close to Kolymsky Heights if you want a good spy thriller though.

I loved it.

Absolutely loved it. Couldn't put it down and like @HoundOfTheBasketballs kept it in case I want to read again. Can imagine it making an excellent movie - the author is also a scriptwriter.

Tend to read 'literary' stuff but not against popular blockbusters if they are well written. This one was gripping.

Thanks everyone, I'll give it a go once I've finished my current book

I really enjoyed it - it has short chapters which makes it easy to read, but lots of cliffhangers so you often want to read on.

I thought it was pretty ridiculous. I always recommend the ultimate spy thriller (imo) which is the original Bourne Identity. Absolutely brilliant.

Oh I'm undecided now whether to give it my precious time 😅

I liked it and I'm a tough critic, but it really is an engrossing thriller.
