Ethan Burke arrives in the town of Wayward Pines but things aren't quite as they should be. He tries to get out, to contact his family, to go home, but the town doesn't want him to leave.
I definitely found this to be un-put-downable as I read it in one day after a friend recommended the series. I won't say it is high fiction, but it is definitely fast-paced and I wanted to know what happened next and next and next. I agree with some reviewers where they say Burke should spend a bit of time resting as he seems to have super human recovery powers as he gets beat up and then keeps going with all his injuries. Even I was feeling exhausted for him.
This has been compared to Twin Peaks, Lost, Walking Dead, but I didn't get those vibes. I was imagining it more like (the TV series) setting of Under The Dome. Being British, I only know "small town rural America settings" from TV series, but the town was quite fleshed out in this story.
In summary, I enjoyed this, even with its flaws and will read book 2 after having a rest.

Lance is a 38 year old, still living with his parents when he loses his job. But Lance doesn't care as he looks like a Hollywood movie star so takes off to be that star.
This was quite an interesting story.You wonder whether Lance is right in his head as he sets out to become his idol. He dresses smart, goes where the smart people go, but is not really sure how he should act.
This sound like it should be a chick-lit type story, but it's not. It is told seriously and gets quite serious too.
I really enjoyed this story. I wasn't sure where it was going and Lance surprised me a few times along the way. It is a very readable story and I didn't want to put it down.
My only complaint is that the story finished at 80%. I'll forgive the author a little, as it went into an interview with him, but I really hate having a big chunk of a kindle book set aside for adverts and chapters of other books. I don't read them and get miffed that I've not had at least 95% of the kindle book.
