"An expertly plotted story that will keep you turning pages and looking forward to the next installment."

I am not a fan of flashbacks at all. This storyline has all the qualities of flashbacks when the main character flips from one storyline to another--what actually happened and what the Driver might imagine is blurred. The premise is rather fantastical and hard to set aside disbelief.

The author tries to answer the question: "Can a person be in two places at once."

Actually, halfway through the book, the author had proven only that the Driver was on auto-pilot or had zoned out. Then the other half of the book the Driver is trying to dissect his movements to see if he actually saw what he saw or not. That was kinda interesting.

However, the whole thing was spoiled by the several pages of regurgitated research the author does that leads the reader to think this book is going to be about THIS and it is actually about THAT. And, to me, THAT was a bit disappointing.

Two of Five Stars.

The Driver is a great suspense book. Good plot and writing. I look forward to reading more books by this author. I received an arc from Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.

I had never heard of this author, and I even tried searching him on the internet. Despite that, I requested the book to read and review. To be honest, I tried to get into the book five different times and I just couldn't do it. It

I'm sorry, Mr. Nuckles, this book just wasn't for me.

This is an interesting story for sure. As one would expect, there's a lot of references to being a long-haul truck driver and all that entails; de-icing, truck stop, traffic jams, and hours upon hours of time for the driver's mind wonder.

This story has a supernatural feel to it, and I'll admit, like the narrator, I spent a great deal of it feeling lost and confused. I suspect that was a conscious choice? The ending left me scratching my head. I don't think it should have, I think I missed something? See, confused.

Although I'd recommend this story, I can't say who the target audience is.

The story touches on a number of issues; a persons faith, their dreams or were they out of body experiences? domestic abuse, human trafficking, trucking...

This is a well written book. It has mystery, suspense and action that will keep you turning the pages. Thank you BookGoSocial via NetGalley for the free copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.

After waking from a horrifying dream-like state, a truck driver starts to find out about several heroic acts he has done on his route. He also remembers a girl that has been killed and others that were taken against their will. Now he must decide what he is going to do about everything that has happened.

In The Driver, David Nuckles takes on a subject that is continually on the rise. Sex trafficking is a problem that, though it isn't new, has been made more public in recent years. I learned how serious it had become a few years ago, and since this book dealt with the topic, I wanted to read it.

I had a hard time staying engaged in the story. I wanted to read it, but I could only read a chapter, or two at the most, at a time. I guess the best way to put it is that I couldn't connect with the main character. The plot and events were well described, I just had trouble getting into the book.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Excellent message is trying to be shared, but The Driver and AP were not able to keep my interest in the story. I really wanted to like the novel, but the presentation didn’t work for me. It’s difficult to be specific without sharing spoilers.
