The Silence of Six is action-packed and suspenseful. The links to websites to support the book were neat, but did not really add much. I have read other stories about the dangers of social media and privacy, but this one really hit home. I liked the pacing and feel of the story, but I think this would work better suited to a movie format. I felt like the characters were underdeveloped and the dialogue was flat. I LOVED this book. I read it in one sitting because I literally could not put it down. I think what grabbed me was how realistic the story really is. I felt like something like this could really happen in real life. Max is a very believable and like-able protagonist, and I was on the edge of my seat rooting for him all the way through. This review will be shorter than normal, because I went into this not knowing anything more than what the Goodreads synopsis says, and I think that was the best way. Going into it without any preconceived ideas allowed me to be swept up and shocked, and it was awesome! I love the idea of “hacktivists” - hackers who hack for a cause or good purpose; they help instead of hurt. This is how I would classify Max and Evan, as well as most of the other hackers in the story. I rate this story as a solid 4.5 stars and I wish I could explain to you all just how much I am into this book. If you’re like me and can’t get enough, I have lots of good news! Author E.C. Myers has said he is working on a sequel (YAY!), and there is a short story called “SOS” (a prequel to The Silence of Six) free on Wattpad. You can also watch the thrilling book trailer here, as well as read Courtney’s (Max’s girlfriend) blog, Full Cort Press, here. All I have left to say is read it, read it, read it, read it!!
