Rezension von Peggy Payne Anyone who knows me knows that John Marrs is one of my favorite authors. He can not write a bad book. In this one, we are in a time of fully self driven cars. When eight cars are hacked and each has a passenger inside, the world is watching. Who gets to live? Who will die? The world, including a group of jurors, will help choose....or will all the passengers perish? What secrets do each of the Passengers hold? Does one deserve to live over another? This book really makes you think about the decisions we are forced to make in our lives every day. And we see just how social media plays such a huge role in impacting what we believe and how we see right and wrong. Such a terrifying, wild ride!
Rezension von Besi"The Passengers" von John Marrs bietet einen fesselnden Blick in eine nicht so weit entfernte Zukunft, die erschreckend realistisch wirkt. Nachdem ich "The One" genossen hatte, griff ich sofort nach The Passengers, - vor allem die Art wie Marrs Geschichten voller Wendungen erzählt, hat mich dazu getrieben. Die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven verleihen der Geschichte eine tolle Dynamik und halten die Spannung hoch, obwohl mich die letzten Seiten nicht voll überzeugten. Trotzdem ist "The Passengers" ein spannender Thriller, der unbedingt eine Leseempfehlung verdient.
