I received Eeny Meeny from
Goodreads as an ARC. I have to say firstly, that I loved this book so much. I
loved the short, to the point chapters, which made me go, “I’ll just read one
more.” Then an hour later I would still be going. This book is crime based
fiction, and I had forgotten how much I like reading this type of story. Unlike
other crime fictions that I have read in the past, I didn’t guess how the story
would end, which is pretty amazing as I normally guess plot lines pretty early
in books. This book had my thinking and second guessing right up to the end.
I was completely hooked on
the premise of the story, seemingly random pairs of people, kidnapped and
trapped in a situation where it is literally kill or be killed. The chapters
based on these characters give you such a dark look at how dehydration and
starvation can warp the minds of the average person. This book seemed to be
based more on the characters and their feelings than going into, as is often
the case in crime fiction, excruciating detail about the inner workings of
detective work. This book, in my opinion had the right balance, there was
enough detail so I knew it seemed realistic but not so much that I was getting
lost and losing the pace of the story.
I would strongly recommend
this book, it is written so well, and I never got lost with what was happening
or thinking this is unrealistic. It is just an honest, good read that will give
you some moments of “What the …!”
