Interesting book.

#IREADBOOKTOURS MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK The Way Out is Book 1 in the Be Careful What You Wish for Series by Gordon Jensen with Cara Highsmith and Gordon Thomas. Sci-fi is a genre I don’t read a lot, but this one was quite interesting. It was pretty much fun following eighteen men and eight women as they leave on a mission and ended up staying much longer than expected. They ended up in a deep black hole that kept them for a while. Well, the crew thought it was only a few years, but it was in fact forty years. And they found that the world had changed immensely while they were gone. No conflict in decades? So not like today, but wouldn’t it be nice? But there was one issue that took out an excessive amount of men and now the world is mostly run by women. As the crew continued to find changes in this new world, it was scary to think, it could easily happen today, especially in the light of the pandemic the last few years. Some of the things were over my head, or maybe it just didn’t interest me. Yet all in all, this is a well written book. The writing style different that any I have read before, and I like it.The Way Out is a quick and easy read, and I am happy to give it Four Stars. If you enjoy a good sci-fi read, I’m sure you will love this one. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book.

The Way Out

The Way Out: A Novel is the first book from the Be Careful What You Wish For series by Gordon Jensen with Cara Highsmith and Gordon Thomas. This is not from my usual genre that I usually go to when I want to find something new to read. However, I wanted to see what it was all about. The plot was different and one that I could not be compare to another story I have ever read. The concept and structure of the the book was unique. I found it to be refreshing to be reading something new and distinct. It was entertaining to be taken out of this world for a few hours and nice to take a journey from every day stresses. The book does start a little slow and the format is hard to get used to at first. About a third of the way through, I caught on and got used to it. Once I did, I was hooked and had to keep reading to see how it would all end for the characters. I am giving The Way Out: A Novel three and a half stars. I believe readers who enjoy reading books from the science fiction genre. I will be looking for the next installment from the Be Careful What You Wish For series, Two Roads to Paradise, to see what the authors has in store for their readers. This one is worth a read. I received a paperback copy of The Way Out: A Novel from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
