"Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier.

After a quite dull beginning the action kicks in around 40% in the book giving impression it would be simple and quite predictive book. But I'm happy to tell it's not :) The idea for plot is great with big potential and curiosity will keep you page flipping!

The grips: beginning could have been handled better than counting "blocks" and listing street numbers for so long. Characters would benefit from more depth.

I like this book and I'm already interested in in the next one from this trilogy. I think the another poditive is that first book ends in a such way as it would be separate book and reader is not forced to read next one as plot is interrupted in the middle and nothing make sense yet ;)
