Paranoia by Joseph FinderMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I picked this up a while ago on a whim in a second hand book shop because I felt like trying something a little bit different for a change. Corporate espionage really isn't my genre, unless you can work in some supernatural, vampire, werewolf elements in; in saying that I quite enjoyed this book.
The start was a little bit slow and took some getting into, but after that it was a real page turner, and very gripping. I thought that the characters were well written and each had their own defined personalities, even the minor characters. You could really get a feel for the characters; who are the good guys, and who are the bad guys. You empathized and cared about Adam, the main character; he is written in a way that makes him likable and relatable. The descriptions of the setting was done really well. You could picture clearly in your head what each place looked like and the atmosphere of each location
The only downside of this book was that the ending felt really rushed. Almost as if there was a limit to how many words could be used in the book. You got the big reveal and then four or five pages later you reach the back cover of the book. I think that perhaps a bit more of an explanation could have been given to fully explain how got to where they were at the end (can you tell I'm trying to avoid spoilers?)
I would definitely recommend this book. A face paced enjoyable read.
