Enclosed in the mysterious and lonely world of Joe Carpenter....

The second book my group chose to read is The Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz. I enjoy this book more than the previous one we read. Compared to Agatha Christie's The ABC Murders, I am more interested in this book because the plot is faster paced . The events in Dean Koontz story are more realistic than the ones in ABC Murders. The Sole Survivor is about a guy, Joe, who lost his whole family in a plane crash. Ever since the crash he has been in solitude waiting to die. It was on the one year anniversary of the crash, that he found a purpose to live. A survivor from the crash found him but was immediately chased by people wanting to kill her. The mysteriousness of this women filled Joe with questions and sends him on an adventure to find her and answers. Joe is not only confused by how the woman is still alive from this catastrophic crash but how him or the public did not know of her before. From the first page of this story the reader is instantly connected to the protagonist Joe Carpenter. When he feels depressed the reader feels depressed, and when he hurts they hurt too. It starts to feel like the reader and Joe Carpenter is one emotionally and mentally. One reason this book is a page turner because it is filled with constant cliff hangers and surprising twist and turns. From the start to the end of the story the reader will find themselves wanting to read this book 24/7. So you will find me on the C or F train enclosed in the mysterious and lonely world of Joe Carpenter and the sole survivor.
