Review: The Book of Accidents

The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Del Rey publishers for providing me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a big fan of Chuck Wendig. His Miriam Black series is fantastic, and I loved the Heartland Trilogy. I had some issues with his last chunkster novel, Wanderers, but still enjoyed it overall.

The Book of Accidents was a home run. Seriously, if you're a fan of the weird, wacky, deep character driven Stephen King type story, then you'll enjoy this one. It's weird. It's creepy. It's got some scary human things and some scary supernatural things.

I was really impressed with this one. It was plotted well. It explained just enough without explaining everything. It showed instead of just told. It had unexpected reveals. It developed a strong cast of characters. It built and built, without being too slow.

I'm actually hoping we get a sequel, as there was just enough left open that I could see a sequel happening. But we'll see.

Definitely recommended! Four stars!
