Bullet Train

Rating: 3.5 ⭐️

I have mixed feelings about this book. I had high expectations, but I feel somehow disappointed. The plot is entertaining for sure. You don't have good guys in the story, all of them are bad and even evil. The initial problem grows bigger and bigger. The situations are ridiculous to an extent that become incredible, but the characters keep it going.

If it were just that, I'd give this book 5 stars. However, one thing that drove me crazy was the dumbness of some characters. They make some serious stupid decisions that made the reading experience exhausting and frustrating. Even though I know this probably was to add more humor to the story, to me it was unnecessary and annoying.

This book is soon to become a movie, and I have no idea how the adaptation will be. The plot is obviously not for everyone, so I'm quite skeptical about how this can be mainstream. But I really hope they change some of the characters' personalities, because I think that's the main flaw of this book.

I won this book through Goodreads and I thank to publishers for providing me this copy. My review isn't influenced by this fact.
