'Never Never' book review
"Never Never," written by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher, is a gripping and suspenseful novel that takes readers on an intense roller coaster ride. Filled with mystery, twists, and psychological intrigue, this book will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

The story follows the lives of Charlie and Silas, two high school students who wake up one day with no memory of who they are or how they ended up in their current predicament. As they embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind their amnesia, they realize they share a complex history that has been intentionally erased. Together, they must unravel the secrets of their pasts before they lose themselves completely.

One of the strengths of "Never Never" lies in its pacing and plot development. The authors expertly weave together the perspectives of both Charlie and Silas, alternating between their viewpoints with each chapter. This approach effectively builds suspense and keeps readers engaged, as they are constantly piecing together clues alongside the characters.

The chemistry between Charlie and Silas is palpable, and their connection adds an extra layer of emotional depth to the story. Their shared journey is fraught with tension and vulnerability, and readers will find themselves rooting for them to recover their memories and rediscover their relationship.

Hoover and Fisher have a knack for crafting intricate and unpredictable storylines. Throughout the book, they introduce a multitude of twists and turns that keep readers guessing. Just when you think you have a handle on what's happening, another revelation emerges, leaving you reeling with shock and anticipation. The authors have a talent for leaving breadcrumbs of information along the way, allowing readers to formulate theories, only to have them shattered as the story unfolds.

The only minor flaw in "Never Never" is that at times, the plot can feel slightly convoluted. The complexity of the mystery may leave some readers feeling overwhelmed or confused. However, this is a deliberate choice by the authors to maintain an atmosphere of uncertainty and intrigue, and for many readers, it will only enhance the reading experience.

In conclusion, "Never Never" is a captivating and mind-bending thriller that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher have created a gripping narrative that explores memory, identity, and the power of human connection. If you enjoy psychological mysteries with an added touch of romance, this book is a must-read. Brace yourself for an exhilarating ride through a world where nothing is as it seems.

Unbelievable
As I titled this book review it just is is unbelievable. Follett, whose works I previously adored, did a horrible job. He makes everyone look like a fool. This type of book wasn't needed.

Follett’s Folly
Not Follet’s best, by far.
H Jones

Too many female characters in strange filler pages that seem at odds with the plot
Ken has written some superb books with pace and pathos, but this book is slow and has many filler pages, which are nothing to do with any of the plot i wonder particularly if Ken had some female ghost writes writing some chapters for the female part, i just got bored and lost and had to leave it half way through, and give the book away pity.
