![]() His character is particularly compelling! The bad guys were layered, multi-faceted, and evil. I did love the side characters though! I wished that Ben Bradley would have actually been in the book more. I need my leading guys to be human too! So if they are chasing the wrong man there needs to be consequences. The thing that brought down the character rating for I am Pilgrim is too many things went his way even when he screwed up (which I wouldn't have known but it was pointed out in all the details). In fact, all I need is for them to be extremely good at their job which Scott (Pilgrim) is. Worth it but a bit brutal.Character Thoughts: Let me state up front: In thrillers I don't need to "like" or "identify" with the main character. ![]() That made I am Pilgrim a bit of a slog to read. I had to switch over from the audiobook to the book because I kept missing important parts buried in details. The only problem for me was the massive amounts of detail slowed down the pacing and at times took me out of the story. I didn't quite figure out what was going on and that alone made the book worth reading. Read/Listened for Review (Simon and Schuster)Overall Rating : 3.50Character Rating: 3.25Story Rating : 3.75Audio Rating : 3.50First Thought when Finished: I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes was a wonderful thriller bogged down by to many details.Story Thoughts: I really loved the case at the center of I am Pilgrim! I thought it was exciting, edgy, topical, and gripping. ![]()
