Title: The String
Author: Caleb Breakey
Series: Deadly Games book 1
Pages: 320
Genre: Suspense, Psychological thriller
Rating: 4.5 in general
I enjoy reading
suspense books but with The String by Caleb Breakey I discovered that I am not
really a fan of those suspense books that bleed over into Psychological
thrillers. But that's okay because not every book is for every reader. I
believe this book was the first book in a while that kept me up all night for
two reasons, I wanted to finish it in one sitting, because even though I didn't
enjoy the book it was a fast paced read. The other reason being it sort
of gave me a slight nightmare. I think mainly because I am such a visual
reader. I can picture the setting a book in my mind to point that it's almost
like watching TV.
That being said the book is
well written, plotted in a manner that allows the story to flow quickly;
allowing a reader to read it in one sitting. However, I wouldn't
recommend reading it at night or when your home alone. Even though I
didn't love it I know that readers who love psychological thrillers will love
it. Even those fans who don't read Christian fiction will still enjoy the
read. I'm still willing to give future books by this author a try
though anymore psychological thrillers of his I plan to approach with
caution. My rating is due to personal reasons based on the
reaction I had to the book it kind of freaked me out. However, for readers in
general and the writing, voice, and plot of the novel I would give it 4.5
stars.
