Week 5: Assignment 3

Before the Fall, by Noah Hawley is described as "the thriller of the year."  As a lover of the thriller genre, how could this bold statement not pique my interest?  The story centers on eleven passengers that depart on a private jet from Martha's Vineyard to New York.  When the plane mysteriously goes down, the only survivors are down on his luck painter Scott Burroughs and the four year old son of a wealthy and powerful media mogul.  This sounds like a fast paced story that delves into the backgrounds of the characters, exploring their relationships to each other.  This would appeal to lovers of fast paced mysteries that are character driven, with dark undertones.
