I'll still give The Last Man a read (in print!) and see how I like it compared to the others. <br /><br />Just finished The Madness of Crowds and am getting ready to share my review. :)Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-7410372822627803872021-09-28T16:39:34.970-07:002021-09-28T16:39:34.970-07:00Iliana, is The Dry a great read?!

That's my memory anyway. I've read all of them and I will say that I liked The Dry and Force of Nature better. I'd like to see Aaron Falk again. I did like The Lost Man, but again, no Aaron Falk. We discussed The Lost Man in mystery group and most liked it quite a bit as I recall. They discussed The Survivors at their recent September meeting. I read it as well and liked it, but I think much of my liking had to do with the setting, the sea, the caves, etc. Anyway, I recently finished Liane Moriarty's new book, Apples Never Fall, and am still considering what I'll say about it.

I'll have to look and see who the reader was for The Dry. I read that one in print, but I wonder if it's the same man who read this one.
