Critic Reviews

The best thriller I've read in ten years... An astonishing piece of work (Linwood Barclay)
I Am Pilgrim is a 21st century thriller: a high concept plot, but with finely drawn protagonists. The plot twists and turns like a python in a sack. The style is visceral, gritty and cinematic...A satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve (Adam LeBor)
Clever and compulsive - the best thriller in years (Deidre O'Brien)

Would you listen to I Am Pilgrim, Volume 1 again? Why?

Starts off with a bang and you’re captured straight away. The mystery of the two stories and how they will combine kept me intrigued the whole time. Then towards the end of the book it comes home like a 'steam train'. I went straight to my laptop to get the second volume as soon as I finished.

I wasn’t sure about this book. I bought it because of a recommendation from a friend the reviews didn’t fit my usual reading choice but she insisted I would like it. Well I did, I enjoyed every twist and turn and now I have that flat feeling you get when a book finishes and you could have gone on and on.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book

Un-put-downable. A brilliant and gripping story, heart in mouth suspense. Just stunning. Ignore any review that doesn't give this 5 stars, this is one book you need to read.

Kinda like watching 24. You know that it is is ridiculous, you know that it is morally bankrupt, you know that the racial stereotypes are offensive and you know the exactly what is coming next (well, you do if you either read modern thrillers or are aware of the principle of Chekhov’s Gun). But that doesn’t stop it being really good fun and entertaining.

As for the performance, yeah, in general it’s good, but the accents he tries are pants wettingly funny. The Arabic accent is pretty generic, but it is the Australian and English accents that are so bad that you miss what is being read because you’re laughing so much.

Anyway, it’s no work of Dickens, but it is very enjoyable all the same

Entertaining pulp thriller - but the accents hahaha

Good plot, very engrossing. Only fault is that the main character is almost faultless and some parts of the plot were a little far fetched but definitely recommended

Great read

One of my very few 5 Star books. Ripper of a story and flawles narration, who could ask for more.

5 Star rating for me

Loved Pilgram. Coming from a Jason Bourne fan it was really well written. While it is close to 900 pages long it really covers every angle instead of just completing a murder mystery miraculously. lots of it doesn't wrap up until the end. Entertaining.

long but very detailed and fast paced

Fantastic thriller - although a long book, it moves forward quickly and keeps you on your toes. Highly recommended!

Excellent thriller! Well worth the read!
