I was so excited to start reading The Year of The Locust after the 10 year wait following the best book I’ve ever read twice. I Am Pilgrim was amazing and I’ve recommended it to so many people. The first 2/3s of The Year of The Locust was great and full of promise. I was thoroughly enjoying it. Then for reasons I can’t begin to imagine, the book changed direction and in my opinion not for the better. Spoiler Alert!!! I cannot abide Time Travel/Sci-Fi/horror and to my utter dismay that’s precisely what happened! I did finish the book as I kept hoping that the main character would wake up and find it was all a horrifying dream following a concussion, but alas it was just pure, far fetched nonsense. I was so disappointed and don’t think I’ll ever buy another Terry Hayes book!
