Review
It will be hard to knock Run Time off the top spot for my book of the year. I was absolutely enthralled by this and think it is Catherine Ryan Howard’s best yet.
How did I know I loved this book? I was afraid to read it while I was was home alone. It gave me chills up my spine and I had to continually look over my shoulder to feel at ease. Not only did the author make me feel fearful, it also left me feeling confused, in a good way. As Adele began to wonder if she was losing her mind, I could easily empathise and understand what she was experiencing.
The story was fantastic as well. And, of course, there was the story within the story (the script for the film) just added to the tense feeling and the number of plot lines which needed to be unravelled.
I don’t want to give too much away because Run Time is a book you want to experience for yourself. You won’t regret it.
