The ThreeVerdict: carrot

It’s very easy to fall headfirst into The Three. It is not just the fear of the unknown that keeps you reading; it helps to have writing that flows so well, regardless of the frequent changes in the narrative points of view. Lotz captures the various narrators’ voices perfectly, easily changing track between both perspective and voice, be it that of Elspeth the journalist herself; or Pastor Len, the leader of the Church of the Redeemer; or Ryu, the Japanese ‘hikikomori’ recluse whose entire narrative is an online chat with the cousin of the Japanese survivor; or the voice recordings of Paul, the struggling actor who is trying to come to terms with being the sole guardian of the American child.
