Great review. I have not read this book but after reading your review, it sounds like something I would like. The fact that you had to close the book was enough for me, I love a book that seems that real.

This sounds like a pretty awesome book (aside from some editing issues and the cliffhanger). I especially liked that you mentioned the jokes among the team members. I love it when the importance of teamwork is stressed, and when those a part of the team are comfortable enough to constantly be bantering with each other. It adds a nice touch to an otherwise intense-sounding book.
Nice job - I greatly appreciated your review!

When I initially read "The Wall" title and saw the graphics on the book cover, I did not know what to expect. Based on the review, however, Some Guy successfully captured your attention with realism and an elevated level of suspense. Although the story might be a little dark, I am glad that author incorporated some humor for comic relief.

Thanks for the review!

Sounds like a fun thriller to read. The cover looks creepy. Definitely sounds like a page-turner. The underlining would have distracted me too. Thanks for the review.

I had The Wall on my shelves for quite awhile and even considered reading it for reviewing purposes. I just couldn't seem to get passed the level of realism in the violence. Although, your well-written review shows it to be a good pick for lovers of high action-packed thrillers. Great job on your summary.
