The Chemist Summary
The Review:
The narrative and story of The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer are compact and well developed, with engaging characters who all originate from various perspectives but finally fit beautifully. Stephenie Meyer crafts a novel that is long enough to be finished without the necessity for ten additional sequels. Truth be told, the characters might be fascinating enough to warrant another book. It's definitely worth reading!!
Stephenie Meyer's early chapters don't usually pull me into the plot, but I keep reading since I realize this is a defect in her writing, but this will be an issue for new readers.
While reading the first few pages, I instantly thought to myself, "This is awful Dean Koontz fan fiction." I kept reading, and while the novel reminded me of a Dean Koontz suspense thriller, it wasn't a blatant copy of his work; rather, it was the author's original work.
The novel is a pleasant escape into a world of love and commitment. In some ways, it reminds me of Twilight. However, to be able to indulge in fantasy, one must ignore or otherwise justify a great deal.
The book tells us that the torture of US citizens is rampant in the United States. Torture is used by US agencies both overseas and in the United States on a regular basis. Also, torture is effective. For me, the most important point is that torture does not work.
However, in this novel, it's the primary female character's eccentricity; it's what she does. People are being tortured in order to get the truth. However, if you, like me, can just ignore all of these inconsistencies, you may enjoy a fast-paced and amusing thriller.
This is a fast-paced narrative that does not allow you to relax for long periods of time. It was distinct from author's earlier stories in that it is highly scientific and intellectual, but it also has a lot of murdering, pursuing, combat, and fleeing for your survival.
You'll come across twists and turns, surprises, what-the-heck moments, and lovely romance. I can smell the rage at the opening of this book, and I'm curious whether it began as a reaction to some frightening events years ago but evolved into exquisite artistry.
The sheer quantity of pages made me pleased, but even though it took a few days to finish, it was still a real page-turner. The epilogue, on the other hand, utterly surprised me. It took me two readings of the last chapter and epilogue before it all came together.
The epilogue, on the other hand, utterly surprised me. It took me a while to get through the last chapter and epilogue, but once I did, everything started to make sense.
Normally, the epilogue is one of the book's personal viewpoints; however, this epilogue was not. So I was thrown aback, and as I remembered specific details from the novel, the puzzle pieces began to fall into place.
It's similar to how they find things out in the novel. It was done on purpose, and I believe it was a great technique to make the reader ponder.
It's violent, but the profanity and gore factor are kept in check. This one was quite enjoyable for me, especially when I learned about Einstein, the coolest security dog ever, and his gang.
Stephenie Meyer has matured as a writer. Her Twilight books were well-written, but they were also heavy on youthful romance and anguish. The Host came up with a unique premise, depicting the invasion of Earth through the eyes of an extraterrestrial, complete with anguish.
Regardless, the novel's unusual plot made it one of my favorites. The Chemist, a gripping action/mystery with minimal angst, is now available. It was fantastic. Exciting, inventive, and well-written.
It was very engaging and even a little instructive! Very tense and sorrowful, but not overly dark considering the topic line. Given the circumstances, the romance seems a little brief and weird.
I would have wanted a longer conclusion or a more descriptive epilogue about where the people ended up, as well as what happened to a couple of characters that I can't discuss because of the spoiler concern.
I found the main character refreshing because of how she was presented, and that is a genuine human, which makes it a story that is founded in reality.
I stayed up late to complete it. Although there is romance, it is not significant. Instead, you're on the edge of your seat from page one, waiting to find out who lives and who dies.
In my thoughts, the characters came to life, and my heart raced as I struggled with them on their quest for freedom and another day of life. And that makes this a fascinating read.
Final Thoughts:
I enjoy that this is a stand-alone novel, but I wouldn't mind if author made it into a series. It is more mature than her previous works, and it is intended for an adult audience; there are implied sexual situations and violence, which should be avoided by people who wish to safeguard young minds.
This was a fantastic read for me. From beginning to end, the narrative was well-written, exciting, and interesting. The protagonist was intelligent, strong, and capable, and the characters were genuine.
She develops odd allies and exploits her highly specialized skill set in a race to rescue their lives after being betrayed by the clandestine government agency that developed her.
The Chemist was a thrilling, suspenseful narrative that had you on the edge of your seat! And the possibilities for where the author may take these characters in the future are infinite, which is something I eagerly await.
This is an excellent book for minds that have already been distorted. The summary gives you a good idea of what this book is about, and if you like Dean Koontz, you'll enjoy it.
Wow, she can write, I kept thinking. Very good at times, I wondered if it wasn't truly her who wrote this novel, but Stephenie Meyer doesn't need any fancy words from me.
She has a long list of accomplishments on her resume. However, as the book's end came, I disliked having to leave characters and their world since it was so naturally structured, well-crafted, and thoroughly researched, with characters that were so genuine and engaging.
Even the most romantic readers, the most hard-core action lovers, and those who enjoy surprises within surprises will find something to enjoy in The Chemist.
Synopsis:
“In this gripping page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life.
She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning.
Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realizes it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers.
To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous. Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of.
In this tautly plotted novel, Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialized skill set. And she shows once again why she's one of the world's bestselling authors.”
