Book Review #61: "The Wanderers"

Professional Reader



Hey Everyone,

     I am going to review the book "The Wanderers," by Meg Howrey. This book is hot off the press as it is published today March 14, 2017 by Penguin Group. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. Meg Howrey is a well established author who has also written "The Cranes Dance" and "Blind Sight."  This book is about three astronauts who are in a 17 month simulation isolated from the rest of humanity. They are training in a simulation for a future trip to Mars.
     Overall I rated this book three stars out of five. This book was well written. The characters in this book are extremely well developed as well as all the relationships between them and their family. Although I did like Helen she did get on my nerves a bit due to her perfectionist personality. This was a story of human relationships and how far ambition will take a human into accomplishing one's dreams. Following the thread between real and unreal was a bit ambiguous at times and made the book difficult to follow. But this was such a deeply written story that seemed all too real because of how well the author developed her characters and their relationships. 
     I would like to thank Netgalley, Meg Howrey, and Penguin Group for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Until the next page,

Jill
