Ratings and reviews

This is one of those books that you wish would go on forever, even though it is quite a bit longer than your average thriller. I almost gave the book 4 stars because the part about the mirrors was just too much to swallow. However, the blood, sweat, and tears put into the writing of this novel deserved more. I so look forward to this author's work in the future.

Its long but reading it on your phone eliminates the intimidation of a huge book. Interesting plot/subplots and great character development. His writing style doesn't is enjoyable and surely doesn't bore. I can't wait to see his screenplay adaption and am interested in the casting!

I would rate it higher of they'd let me. Intricate story lines, believable plot and characters, insightful and suspenseful writing. It's unfortunate that his next book doesn't come out until September 2015...not sure if anything can top Pilgrim in the meantime.
