A Fast-Paced, Fatally Flawed Thriller
The Prisoner is a gripping, tense thriller that starts off well but falls apart in the middle. ..
The Prisoner is a novel that follows the story of a prisoner who is held in a maximum security prison. The novel is written in the first-person point of view, and it follows the prisoner’s experiences as they are held in the prison. The novel is full of suspense and mystery, and it will keep you on your toes throughout its entire length.
But as the story progresses, Amelie begins to realize that she may have been living in a bubble and that her life is anything but perfect. She starts to question everything she’s been told about her husband and the world around them. And as she starts to piece together what really happened to her parents, things quickly go from bad to worse.
Amelie is abducted in the middle of the night and tossed in a pitch-black room. She finds herself in a battle to survive. Why has she been taken? Who are her captors? Where’s Ned? And why has all of this happened? ..
The mystery is solid, but the plot is too fast-paced and scattered for me to really invest in it. The writing is snappy and the characters are likable, but I just didn’t feel like I was following the story as closely as I wanted to.
The twist in the first half of the story is that Amelie has been kidnapped and taken to a place where she’s been kept prisoner for years. The second half of the story is all about her search for her captors and how she comes to find out what happened to them.
The story then falls into a formulaic soap opera that struggles to maintain momentum. ..
The story feels like it’s constantly trying to make sense of itself, and it can be difficult to follow. There are some interesting ideas at work, but the execution is often poor. The characters are interesting and well-drawn, but the story feels like it could use more of an emotional impact.
The Prisoner is a fast-paced, poorly plotted book that relies heavily on its readers suspending their disbelief. The chapters are snappy and easy to read, but the plot is slow and convoluted.
The biggest problem with this book is that it’s very slow to get going. The first few chapters are all about exposition, and then the story starts to pick up a bit but then it slows down again. The last few chapters are really just filler, and don’t really add anything to the story.
Ultimately, The Prisoner is not a thriller that will be remembered and unfortunately, it barely scrapes the bottom of the mediocrity barrel. ..
