Critic Reviews

The best thriller I've read in ten years... An astonishing piece of work (Linwood Barclay)
THRILLER OF THE WEEK. Delivers thrills and spills...A full tilt mix of Homeland, The Wire and The Bourne Ultimatum
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)
Rendition yourself into a pulsating thriller that never lets up as it carries the hero and the reader on an ever more desperate race between time and an all too plausible disaster for the world we live in. Great nail-biting stuff!
The narrative is thrilling: the tension tightens with action...It's a murder mystery, an illuminating account of contemporary international politics and a study of an unusual man......An excellent thriller which as a first novel is really remarkable
I Am Pilgrim takes the modern spy novel and pushes it screaming and kicking into the twentieth-first century. With a stunning sense of plot, beautifully detailed writing, huge ambition and even huger talent, Hayes has produced one of the most memorable novels of recent times. This is a frightening, pulse-pounding journey into the future of terrorism and the brave new world we’ve been ushered into. Amazingly assured and complex, this is one of the best debut novels I’ve ever read
Clever and compulsive - the best thriller in years (Deidre O'Brien)
Terry Hayes' I AM PILGRIM delivers smart, compelling and wildly inventive storytelling, told on an ambitious scale with total command. A masterful novel and a terrific read
Massive in many senses, but none more so than its ability to exert a vice-like grip on the reader....Destined to be spy thriller of the year
As relevant as today's headlines. A scary trip through the shadowy world of international espionage. Just hope that Pilgrim is on our side. Terrific. No, on second thoughts, better than terrific
All stars

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.

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

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.
