## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    80% literary thriller, 20% rubbish
  

*by F***0 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2015*

Orient aspires to be a literary thriller and for the most part it succeeds. Christopher Bollen writes well and does a good job of evoking the tension between the old timers in Orient, a poor relation to the Hamptons, and the newcomers who want to turn it into a hipster artist colony. There are enough twists and turns to maintain the tension for most of the story, but he suffers from the classic problem of the thriller writer, which is how to bring all the threads of the story together in a credible and compelling ending and unfortunately he doesn't succeed. The last section is increasingly silly and sketchily written as if he couldn't wait to get to the end and reads like the worst kind of airport bestseller, however the 20% that's rubbish doesn't negate the 80% that's enjoyable so it's still a good option for the sun lounger.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    It doesn't sit easily with earlier sections
  

*by O***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2015*

An absorbing novel but the final section which ties up all the loose ends is somewhat irritating! It doesn't sit easily with earlier sections. It's a kind of literary crime novel with some very good writing but at times it seems the writer is trying too hard in his descriptions and metaphors to the extent that you may think 'that was an unusual collection of words but I have no idea what they were all about'! Maybe it's just me who thinks this and I needed to make more of an effort. Well worth trying though.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Too many pages, too long and did not relate to the main character in the story
  

*by T***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2017*

I enjoy crime books and mysteries, especially the Nicci French books, but had read a good review of this book so decided to buy it.  It was in the first instance far far too long.  Secondly, I could not relate to the main character at all, a young male non-heterosexual, and I am an older heterosexual female.  To use an old expression, it did not 'float my boat'.  Also I am from Southern California,  and could not relate to the East coast location of this book.  I soldiered on to the end as I tend to do this with books but felt very disappointed.
