5/25/2023 0 Comments The three lotzIt was a little Hamlet, a play within a play. I’ve seen people compare it to World War Z which is one of my favourite books ever and I can see slightly how that might seem but for me, World War Z is more historical whereas this is more a media spin on a story. I really enjoyed the way this book was set out with prose then a book within a book, then more prose. Lotz manages to stay pretty accurate to what I think would probably happen if this freak tragedy happens, and it’s a scary story in itself. We see the British media frenzy- there’s even a reference to Princess Diana in there, the Bible Belt of America’s religious reaction, and Japans slightly better way of dealing with everything. I was rooting for people, had my heart broken as the narrative progressed and just wanted to climb into the story and try to sort things out. The characters all felt very convincing and real, and even though it was constantly moving from person to person it was easy to keep up and get to know them. The story was insane, every twist was like a smack in the face and even though I had no idea what was going on, it didn’t annoy me like it normally would. Sarah Lotz has managed to write something about plane crashes that is better than Lost, which is not something I say lightly. On with the review! In short, The Three is one of the best books I’ve read this year/ ever.
