I was expecting this to be on the same par with previous books but I was sadly disappointed. It started out confusing and got worse from there. There was no explanation with what really happened, one half of America wanted to kill the the other half of America then they didn't, with no explanation of why. the characters were so lame I wanted them to actually get killed, and the kids just seemed to sleep all the time. Just not a great book to read, I just could not wait until the end so I could read something else. On the plus side it is not that long of a read. ### ⭐⭐ Flimsy characterisation and tedious stereotypes. *by M***E on 17 June 2018* Well, this novel certainly does what it says on the tin. Our main protagonist and his family spend the whole novel running, and there are some very tense moments as they stagger from one perilous situation to another. At least they WOULD be tense moments, if I gave a toss about the characters. Regrettably, the characters were all such one dimensional stereotypes that I found myself willing the whole ordeal to be over, with John, Dee and ' 'Na' annihilated ( preferably in that order). John was a tiresome male stereotype and Dee and Na were disappointingly and relentlessly whiney. Sweet Jesus, the level of whinging was such that Dee and Na's dialogue in at least the first two thirds of the novel consisted almost entirely of time wasting protestations and exclamations of 'But why?' ( during moments requiring quick, no questions asked, retreat or action). In one scene, where the family has found temporary respite in an idyllic cabin replete with supplies and opportunities for hunting and fishing etc, the stereotyping reaches ludicrous new highs ( or should that be lows); Dee and Na are even smugly referred to as 'The women'. On a positive note, there were some nice gory scenes, most notably the ordeal in 'the pit', which was well written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shades of the movie Day of the Triffids with attitude. *by M***R on 29 June 2019* Really interesting premise. A once in a multi Millenia cosmic light show, turns ordinary people into organised, murdering, God complex psychos and this is the tale of an ordinary middle class family trying to escape the terrifying chaos. Armed, rampaging mobs hell bent on terminating anyone who hasn't seen 'the light' simply because they missed the phenomenon and aren't worthy of life, which occurred at early morning local times, in North America U.S./ Northern Mexico etc. (as in continentally localised), and within days the terror grows exponentially. The author, who by the way, is rather good at building the tension, as well as his descriptive manner of relating the sheer violence of psychopathy, has form for producing a page turner and from thriller to survivalist horror to sci-fi, he has undoubted talent. Some books by other authors I've bought, have taken two months to read and this is the second Blake Crouch I've purchased which actually took me two days (nights) to read (at bedtime), so gripped was I. I'm looking forward to my next Crouch purchase and I absolutely believe that if you enjoy a good yarn, you should get on the Blake Crouch bandwagon! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/178137779-run-paperback-19-mar-2011](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/178137779-run-paperback-19-mar-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
