Description of  Inspection: A Novel

This is the best Net Galley book I've read to this date. I had high hopes after reading this author's Bird Box recently, and I was not disappointed. This is a suspenseful, smart, timely, action-packed, seat-of-your-pants thrill ride. Malerman creates a unique world, throws you in the middle of it and lets you figure it out piece-by-piece as it goes along. Each piece adds another exciting little reveal and gives you an "aha" moment (There are a couple of these that made me gasp!). The two heroes have great arcs going from naive, sheltered kids to disillusioned, angry, righteous warriors. The two antagonists are given just enough vulnerability to make them not caricatures, but you can still hate them and root for their downfall. I powered through this book over a long weekend eager to see what I (and the characters) would learn next. I'm recommending it to everyone I see.
