Pines

Another thriller from Blake Crouch with a wild, bizarre ending. I only took away one star for the over-the-top physical endurance displayed by the main character, Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke. I just couldn't accept that any human being could take the physical punishment this character went through and still be able to function. Otherwise, the way Crouch builds up and slowly unveils the mystery surrounding the Idaho town of Wayward Pines kept me furiously turning pages.
