I was expecting something different based on Crouch’s other books. I also was slightly confused towards the beginning, but it got clearer as the book went on. The thought of Run being realistic is also absolutely terrifying.

I wanted to love this so badly but it was just meh. It felt like the walking dead, just without zombies.

What can I say, Blake Crouch is def a master at thrillers. I read Dark Matter (before it became TikTok famous or whatever) and was so intrigued and captivated that Crouch definitely became an author whose works I would pick up, which led me to request the ARC for Run. I can say that I was not disappointed. Run follows a family of 4 who are on the run as the whole world implodes. In a "Bird Box" type plot, people who are normally rational and normal begin to act violently and commit senseless acts of violence. This is a post-apocalyptic type of novel that moves fast and left me hanging on the corner of my seat. Def a quick read and will leave you in suspense.

This was such a great thriller. The tension had me on the edge of my seat and it was full of action and emotions. This is my second book by this author and I absolutely love his writing style!

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for those copy of Run. Blake Crouch is a master of his craft and he killed it again in this reprint of Run.

I will always recommend Blake Crouch's novels.

This is a great new addition of Crouch's story, feeling up to date with the new cover and description. Glad to have a new addition of this one, and I'm very hopeful to see the rest of his books updated as well.

Read it. You won’t be sorry. I’ve been in a book slump for two months and nothing I pick up will hold my attention. This one pulled me in and had me white knuckling until the end.

Without giving spoilers there were a few things that didn’t make sense to me and I was left with a couple questions, but overall I really enjoyed this book. 3.5 stars rounded up to four, just because of the unanswered questions.

This book was WILD y’all! I literally could not put it down. This book will fall into two categories- you either will love it or hate it. I don’t think there is any in between! The suspense… the emotions….the action….this was one wild ride. I fell into the “loved it” camp and found it to be a great escapist read.

Action packed and compelling. Tragedy, death and gore but done in a page turning way. It kept my attention throughout and enjoyed the writing style. This was the authors first work, so I am interested to try out his other works. Thanks you Random House Publishing, Blake Crouch and NetGalley for a copy of this EARC, all opinions are my own.

As a big Blake Crouch fan, I loved this fast paced book the first time I read it, and I was thrilled to revisit it once again. Very cool to see how his writing has progressed with Run being one of his earlier works. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and Random House- Ballantine Books for the advanced digital copy.

First I would like to thank Netgalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC of this novel.

I didn’t realize when I received this book it was a re-print of one of his earlier books but I was still excited to get to read it. I loved Dark Matter and have been looking forward to reading other book by this author.

This was a quick, fast-paced thriller read. I enjoyed the sci-fi/post-apocalyptic aspects of this book. It’s not something I would normally gravitate towards but the cliff-hanger short chapters and the non-stop action kept me engaged throughout the book.

3.5/5 rounded up for 4 stars for this review.

This was a pure popcorn thriller that wasn’t perfectly executed but had an interesting plot. I had fun and looked past a few questionable plot points. I wish the ending was different—it did leave me with some unanswered questions.

In a post-apocalyptic world, names of those to be killed are stated on the radio. When Jack hears his name, he must take his family and RUN.

With people suddenly turning murderous all throughout the US, Jack and his family must make the perilous journey to safety without actually knowing where that is. Chaos ensues and Jack ultimately becomes separated from his family.

I found the book to be entertaining albeit overly predictable at times. I'm not sure if it will really stand out compared to other dystopian books.

Thank you NetGalley and Ballantine Books for gifting me this ARC.

I am a huge fan of Blake Crouch's work and already read his latest books when they come out. I was very pleased to receive an advanced copy of the reissue of RUN, originally published over a decade ago. It was as intense and unputdownable as all of his other works. I think I read it over the course of two nights and was sweating bullets the entire time. Per Crouch's other works, RUN is packed with action, thrills, but also emotional moments. I loved it and would recommend to any fans of Crouch's more well known works. Five stars!

An oldie, but a goodie! I love Blake Crouch's writing style and his take on science/speculative fiction. This was on the longer side, but it held my attention the entire time. I found myself flipping ahead trying to figure out what would happen next.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I am a huge Blake Crouch fan, but this one definitely fell short for me. It was confusing at times and hard to follow along. It just wasn't for me.

**DNF 46%**

I have read from Crouch before and have enjoyed him. However, I fear he becoming a bit to formulaic for me. I love how faced paced his writing is and that it’s compulsive reading, but I need a bit more.

When I read the plot summary, I thought definitely up my alley who could pass on a story where people are smitten by a borealis and turning into violent killers and a family on the run. Sounds like a fun ride until it isn’t.

I didn’t find any of the characters likable and if I’m being honest at times I rooted for them to be plucked off either by each other or by the violent crazed mob of killers.

Even though I didn’t get along with this one, I will still give Crouch a read.

It was something different from the latest Black Crouch reads. This book definitely fast paced and has a lot of twists. It explores humanity and morality.

‼️ Run ‼️

5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
331 pages

‼️ Blake Crouch is reissuing this debut novel that he self-published back in 2011! So cool!

‼️ Blake is the king of suspense and captivating storylines! He is hands down one of my favorite authors! I love everything he writes and this was another one he knocked out of the park! It as SO good!

‼️ Run is a suspense thriller that has apocalyptic and dystopian themes. It’s about a family on the run through mountainous wilderness. You will be on the edge of your seat the whole time!

Where do you go when the world has gone crazy? For Jack and Dee Colclough and their children, the only solution is to run. Murders happening, power failures, nobody is safe. So they pack up their children and travel from New Mexico towards Montana.

This is a classic popcorn thriller, with each chapter ending on a cliffhanger making you want to keep reading. Simply put, I loved it. The post-apocalypse vibe had me turning the page dying to find out what happened next. However, I do feel like the characters weren’t well fleshed out and everything wrapped up a little too smooth.

Thank you Ballentine Books, Blake Crouch, and NetGalley for the ARC of this novel!
