A review by booklistqueen
Run by Blake Crouch

3.0

Five days ago, a rage epidemic began sweeping across the United States. Suddenly groups of people are murdering others for no discernible reason. When Jack hears his name called out over the radio, his only choice is to take his wife and kids and run. What do you do when lawlessness reigns and you don't know who to trust or where to run?

When I saw Blake Crouch had a new thriller, I jumped at the chance to read an advanced copy. Only to discover that I was fooled by the marketing for a re-release. Run is far from new; it's Crouch's debut novel and it shows. This survivalist story was a pure-action thriller that rushes you through a brutal apocalyptic world at a breakneck pace. Who needs character development or good dialogue anyway?

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Ballantine Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
