Critic reviews

The best thriller I've read in ten years... An astonishing piece of work (Linwood Barclay)
I Am Pilgrim is a 21st century thriller: a high concept plot, but with finely drawn protagonists. The plot twists and turns like a python in a sack. The style is visceral, gritty and cinematic...A satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve (Adam LeBor)
Clever and compulsive - the best thriller in years (Deidre O'Brien)

Exciting but a bit too full of cliches

Firstly I want to highlight that the only version available on Audible in November 2016 is the full complete book. It is not in two parts like other reviewers have apparently experienced.

It was an entertaining book, good pace and fairly well written. The story was a bit far fetched, and a lot of the science was made up or exaggerated, but I didn't mind that so much. - it's fiction and you just have to go with it and enjoy it.

But I agree with other reviewers that it is rather black and white: The Americans are the heroes against a mostly all, either evil or dumb/corrupt etc world of muslims and Russians.

The narrator was mostly very good, in all the non-accent parts - his voice is clear, easy and pleasant to listen to. But his range of accents is quite limited. He has no idea what a Turkish accent sounds like, which was a bit annoying since the book has quite a lot of Turkish characters. His British accent was terrible as was his Italian.

All in all I would probably still recommend this book as an entertaining listen.

Brilliant!

Where does I Am Pilgrim, Volume 1 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Among the very best.

Pilgrim, as written in the first person, I enjoyed his character and cared about the outcome.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Too many to choose from, all good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Only the common complaint of other reviewers "why two books?"
Also, why is this book not in Audibles short list, I definitely would've voted for it!!

A pacey listen but a bit Dan Brown in places

This book starts really well and although I'm not generally a thriller fan I was hooked. Towards the end the quality and believability goes down hill rather but by then you'll probably be hooked anyway.

The story keeps you on tender hooks

Because this type of story (action with graphic violent bits) & style of writing (paucity of in depth psych portrayal) isn't my favourite type for me personally, I could have given this book a 4. However I didn't think that would be at all fair. It really is more than worthy of a 5. The author was very knowledgeable about his various subjects, from cultures, to geography, to medicine & numerous other stand points. He was able to take me, the reader into the story. The many near misses were numerous ( a bit too many by the end) & left me quickly turning the page to see what happened next. A good read.
