Why read it?
2 authors picked The Ferryman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A wonderful, surprising plot — the book starts off as one thing and becomes quite another by the end — married to memorable characters, honest emotions, and harnessed to compelling prose that rocketed along like a bullet train.
When I finished it, I was tempted to go back to page one and start all over again. It was a deeply satisfying reading experience and a book that’s lingered in my mind and imagination.
Justin Cronin’s silky prose, captivating characters, and eye for detail elevates this post-apocalyptic literary thriller, making it a thoroughly engrossing read.
The novel opens with the shocking suicide of a woman who lives in Prospera, a paradise island. But all is not as it seems in this lack-for-nothing dream world, and soon we learn that a rebellion of the underclass is brewing. When the protagonist discovers that all is not as it seems, he quickly finds himself a hunted man.
I’m new to Cronin, but this book made me a fan.
From William's list on suspense thrillers to steal your sleep.
