I had to link this review on my blog, to show that we both read the same book but came away with different opinions :)<br /><br />I did enjoy the story and kept reading quickly to find out what the heck would happen, since everyone is an unreliable narrator, it seems! But I didn't like the ending so much, and you are right about the confusion of which genre he wanted this to fall into. What excited me most about it was the setting: I love man vs. environment stories, and since I've spent most of my adult life in warm climates, I prefer a wintry, frozen land scenario for fun!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your view-- I can agree with you on much of it, but it just didn't work as well for me with that possible sci-fi angle I wasn't expecting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-47751639745512488542016-03-11T11:43:18.641-08:002016-03-11T11:43:18.641-08:00It was definitely one of the high points of the bo...It was definitely one of the high points of the book.

I had no idea who was telling the truth. Which I thought was great... :P<br /><br />I actually liked the scifi angle it just wasn't the one I was expecting lol. So that threw me... but I loved the isolated nature of the setting.

You've got me curious about the different versions of the stories and wanting to know what even happened lol. But that's always how it is in real life, right? People always have different versions of the same events, though people often do genuinely remember things wrong, but I think I'm getting way off topic here. It is frustrating if you're not expecting a book to be fantasy or sci-fi and then it twists that way right at the end because it feels like a cop-out, but at least you enjoyed most of the book!Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-20694637512147905282016-03-10T19:35:52.483-08:002016-03-10T19:35:52.483-08:00Sounds like one of those books you can't put d...Sounds like one of those books you can't put down. Unreliable narrators can be a lot of fun; I think my first true introduction to the concept came in <i>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</i> (Christie.)

This actually sounds a tiny bit similar to that, although I haven't read it in years so I could be way off. Either way, I definitely think I'll be checking this one out! I'm okay with a little sci-fi in my contemporary thrillers!
