Narration As Books Abandon
On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote gold mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins - and not a single bone was ever found. One hundred thirteen years later, two backcountry guides are hired by a history professor and his journalist daughter to lead them into the abandoned mining town, so they can learn what happened. With them is a psychic and a paranormal photographer, as the town is rumored to be haunted. A party that tried to explore the town years ago was never heard from again. What this crew is about to discover is that twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they are not alone, and the past is very much alive.Rating Regarding Books Abandon

The premise of this book was good: a mining town abandoned on Christmas Day in 1893, being explored in 2009. It sounded like it would be a good, spooky mystery and adventure. Unfortunately it ended up being a dark, bloody, depressing story with no redemption, filled with characters that, for the most part, revealed themselves to be horrible, greedy monsters. No one really learned or gained anything; almost every character died horribly, and the one who didn't ended up emotionally and financiallyAWESOME that is the only way to describe Blake Crouch Abandon he is the absolute genius of this genre his characterisation is superb the nasty characters brought the plot to life throw in a few nice guys makes it even better.this novel shows what greed can do to everyone of us it also decides who lives who dies who pays the consequences I took my time to read this taking everything in it goes back to 1893 to 1980 which made it a bit difficult for me but VERY enjoyable at the same time.GREED CAN
it wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. not what I was expecting.
4.5 STARS!I liked this book a lot. When I first read the blurb, I couldn't help but think of Roanoke - I just know the bare bones, but an entire town disappeared without a trace. It also left me wondering if this story was going to move over to the supernatural (the way Stephen King did in the miniseries STORM OF THE CENTURY) or stick to reality.Basically, I knew that in 1893, the entire town of Abandon disappeared into thin air. Everything was abandoned exactly as it were that day and no bodies
This book was hard to rate for me. I liked it and it kept my attention but then it just seemed choppy at times.
Im not much into thrillers. The tried-and-true thriller formula goes something like this: person disappears; detective is called; detective interviews people whose names you cant keep straight; red herrings are tossed about; person is found, sometimes dead, sometimes alive. The end. If you want to read an outside-the-box thriller, then get in line for Blake Crouchs Abandon.Abandon is a parallel story that seamlessly moves from 1893 to the present day by use of alternating chapters. It begins on
Abandon by Blake CrouchReviewed by Russell IlgAbandon by Blake Crouch is by far one of the greatest Thrillers ever written. In this spring of many books being released there are going to be many to chose from, and this has to be the #1 book on your list. It is going to be huge and contend for every award out there. Blake is fairly new to the Thriller world with two books already, by far the best thrillers I have ever read until he wrote Abandon. He writes under the Thriller genre, but that does
