The Three (Lotz) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
A spellbinding tale of science fiction, religious fervor and media madness that makes us wonder who, exactly, are the monsters.
Washington Post


[The story] involves dozens of characters, many of them peripheral to the central storyline, and the result reads like a faulty mash-up: plenty of bits and pieces (often well rendered by Lotz), but they don’t coalesce into a real narrative with the kind of momentum or urgency that the premise calls for.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) Lotz is an excellent storyteller, and she favors subtle innuendo over big shocks. Her unsettling tale builds to a crescendo that will have readers leaving the lights on long after they finish the book. Recommended for fans of sf and apocalyptic thrillers by authors such as Justin Cronin and Stephen King. —Amy Hoseth, Colorado State Univ. Lib., Fort Collins
Library Journal


[F]ascinating and deeply creepy novel.... [Lotz] spins a tail of disaster and fanaticism that is both entertaining and scarily realistic. The Three is the real deal: gripping, unpredictable and utterly satisfying.
BookPage


Lone survivors from different plane crashes spark apocalyptic fears.... [An] eclectic style of storytelling provides just enough information to follow the developing events, while the reader grasps for the crucial information that will solve the mystery of the enigmatic children. An engaging thriller with clues that will keep you guessing.
