The Missing by C.L. Taylor
2.0
Just quickly jotting down my thoughts on this book
Pros:
- the agony of the mother was well written. You could really feel her guilt, sense of hopelessness and anguish over her missing son.
- the family dynamics with a missing son was well written. You can imagine that everyone would feel regret for their last moments and it was well written.
- it is was different to read a book to focuses on a missing son instead of daughter. Often in books like this it is the daughter that is always missing.
Cons:
- as I continued to read this I felt less and less warmth and caring towards the missing boy. As a person he seemed like an ass and a bit messed up.
- the ending was underwhelming. Actually, I wasn’t a fan at all. It just felt bleh at the end.
I think it was an okay book but Billy (aka the missing kid) was in my opinion an ass that I didn’t feel anything for him. I felt bad for his family as they had to go through such agony. Also, I think I have been reading a lot of thrillers, mystery crime books which all have been underwhelming.
2.25 stars
