A bit far reaching in realism. Just how many times can one family have car crashes, boat explosions, gun battles, and near death experiences in one novel. Just a few too many for my personal preference. Reads like it was written by Michael Bay. A little too over the top for my liking.
On the plus side, the characters are funny and we'll balanced to keep it interesting enough to plow on through.

Filled with all kinds of turns and plot twists. Fully engaging characters. In a society plagued with mass shootings and cult philosophies full of hate, this book will keep you up as it faces some extremely delicate and relevant issues in society today.

Good read. Felt it dragged a bit in places and was repetitive at times, but all in all was enjoyable. 7/10

Very quick read. Was quite intriguing, but was disappointed by the abruptness of the ending. Good read though.

Excellent debut novel. Couldn't put it down.

Incredibly moving book. Highly recommended.

Very powerful and detailed story of life, love, hardship, family, and eventual triumph of the human spirit. HIGHLY recommended read.

Absolutely incredible read. Quick paced, never lags, and leaves you with some deep thinking to do. Highly recommend it!

Very fast read. Great setting for the novel.

Quick paced and good characters in this no nonsense thriller. Not usually a big fan of her writing, but this one may have changed my mind.

Awesome. You can feel Toronto on every page. I've stayed in Kensington Market exactly where this novel takes place. Wonderful descriptive text if the neighborhood.

Good quick read. Entertaining.

Intriguing and disturbing look into the corruption threading through the American political and judicial world's. Who says money can't buy happiness as well as many other things.

This book only has 287 pages. Not 400.

The best Orphan X I've read to date.

Very slow read. Took me forever to get into it. Ending is just a set up for the next in the series. 5/10

An amazing read that brings the streets of Toronto to life. I've lived here for over 40 years and reading these pages just felt like home.

Extremely well written thus far.

Reads like fiction. Very good read.

Phenomenal as always. Second time reading this and it's still my favourite Coelho book.

Wasn't my favourite read but entertaining. Huge anticlimax that left me disappointed.
