This is a book filled with action, tension, thrills and spills and follows on from the previous 2 in the series and whilst this can be read as a standalone, I would definitely recommend reading at least the 2nd in the series, The Sabateur, as it is easy to get a little lost on the characters and the story but you won't be disappointed.

Once again, we are treated to a tense plot, fast pace and excellent characters that, although I found it hard to get into for the first couple of chapters, once there I was absolutely riveted to the very end.

Highly recommended to those of you who enjoy an excellent thriller and many, many thanks to Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Survivor.

Kudos

Movie Rating

Hmmm ... Unbreakable.

A bit of a strange movie to rate or describe.

I'm not sure whether to class this as a Comic book movie, a thriller, or something else entirely: It's not based on any comic (that I know of), but does have superheroes and villains as its main driving force.

In this, Bruce WIllis plays an everyman security guard who miraculously survives a train crash without a single cut or bruise, while Samuel L Jackson is his exact opposite: a man born with bones so brittle that they break at the slightest provocation.

As a M Night Syamalan movie, you'd be expecting a twist at the end - this, indeed, I feel is part of the problem: if Shyamalan wasn't known for twists, the ending would have had more impact than it did!!
