Adrift by Will Dean - A DNF

 

I don't DNF books often.  But this one?  I just couldn't take it.

I read The Last One and was absolutely captivated.  Loved the story, loved the twists.  So when I heard other book lovers gushing about Will Dean's newest book, I rushed to the library to pick up a copy.  

On the surface it sounds good.  Two aspiring writers living on a houseboat in an isolated area and the success of one of them sets catastrophic events into play.  Called a slow burn.

Slow burn?  Excuse me.  There was no burn, slow or otherwise.  It was just slow.  Painfully slow and painfully boring.  I wasn't invested in the story at all.  Nothing like The Last One.  I called it less than 100 pages in.  Just wasn't worth it to me.

The only good thing I can say is that I didn't buy the book and only borrowed it. 

Do not recommend. 

Disclosure:  I borrowed this book from my local library.  My views and opinions are my own.  I was neither paid nor compensated for this review.
