alobearI've been doing a series on my podcast of picking books I read a long time ago, rereading them and then comparing my thoughts to when I read them the first time. I'm in the process of transferring that to my upcoming YouTube channel - and the first book I'm going a video version on is The Three by Sarah Lotz.
I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated extremely well. It's about a day in 2012 when four planes crash in different parts of the world, and three children miraculously survive. It's possible there's something strange about them - and the book is made up of extracts from 'books within the book', interviews, documents, etc, all charting different people's reactions to the situation.
It's all very well put together, but it's incredibly drawn out over the course of the book, with only intermittent hints at potential doom and weirdness to come, and very few specifics. I don't necessarily mind questions being left unanswered in books, but this one took the mickey with it rather.
