❤️ loved this book because...
I Am Pilgrim isn’t a brand-new release, but trust me, it’s destined to be a classic.
Terry Hayes, with his screenwriting and film-producing background, crafts a story so gripping that the nearly 700 pages fly by. Hayes draws you in from page one, and despite the book’s gargantuan size, not a single word feels unnecessary—in fact, I found myself wishing for more.
The plot is smart, the twists are earned, and the pacing is relentless, but what really blew me away is how deeply I connected to the characters, even in the middle of such a high-stakes, global thriller.
If you love thrillers where every move counts and each twist keeps you up at night, this one is a must-read. You’ll be thinking about it long after the last page.
