The Passenger edition by Lisa Lutz Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

A young woman is forced to be on the run when most kids her age are contemplating college and life there after. We don't find out why she is on the run until near the end, but there are a myriad of hints along the way. She sheds and takes on new identities, meets good, bad and human people, as she explores what the meaning of self is.

I listened to and read this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the voice of the reader as well as the voice of the writer! The main character (we start out knowing her as Tanya Dubois) was thoughtful and often had a sense of humor about her situation. She was a good person who made some (okay, maybe a lot) of bad choices.

I liked the ending, although some might think it a bit too easy or pat. I was hoping it would end just about as it did! Call me pollyanna, but sometimes I like a (spoiler alert) happy ending!
I first discovered Lisa Lutz about 15 years ago, when I picked up The Spellman Files. I laughed my way thru the antics of this highly disfunctional family, and eagerly sought out the next two books in the series.

Fast forward about 10 years. I found to !y delight that there were 3 more novels expounding on the antics of the Spellmans, which I eagerly downloaded to my . And then, just for fun, I did a search on Lisa Lutz and discovered this delightfully suspenseful novel of a woman trying to run from her past.

Instead of surreptitiously recorded conversations (a bad habit shared by all the Spellmans) Ms Lutz uses cryptic emails to fill in some blanks and to expand the plot line.

I strongly recommend this well written novel for anyone who likes mysteries with a twist.

And while you're at it, grab the Spellman series. Your family won't seem so bad after all!
I loved the Spellman series and the lol writing so I never really concentrated on Lisa Lutz's mastery of the word. She is a brilliant writer and I consider this book one of the best I have read in a while. My husband asked me what kind of a book it was (i.e. mystery, thriller) and it defies classification. The book is an intense character study and keeps you on the edge. In the NYT book section there was a blurb about how you will want to go back to the beginning after you finished and that is exactly what I did. I now look forward to reading anything Lisa Lutz writes.
"Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband’s body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town. It’s not the first time."

That part of the blurb pretty much sums up 95% of the book. I was hooked from chapter one. It opens with a dead body at the bottom of the stairs. Pretty interesting right?

The main character goes by so many different names and changes, I will call her she. She is on the run from town to town throughout most of the book. From place to place, different hair, eyes, different bar, different hotel. After a while I got a little antsy with it and was wondering when the real drama was going to happen. Several of the aliases she took on just seemed to be wasted words, fillers.

Then at random times the drama would happen. And it was almost a little over the top. Most of the things that happened, were not even in the slightest believable. Ninja kicking a guy in the head from the passenger seat, booby traps in the woods, and even murder - yet she couldn't change a battery in her Jeep. Those little things peeved me but I get some readers might overlook those things and be fine with it.

"As I drove away, the realization came into full relief. I had just taken over the identity of a felon, with the murder weapon sitting right in my glove compartment."

"Nothing personal. Survival makes you do things you never thought you were capable of."

I felt like the story was long and drawn out with a lot of details, then at the end it's rushed with the author explaining the past and the why all in that last chapter. I would have liked more and I wished she had got her happy ending. Why did she do some of the things she did? And how did that happen? I still have some unanswered questions about some of her aliases.

Despite the little hiccups and plot holes I still enjoyed it and wanted to know what happened in the end. It's faced paced with action and lots of suspense. You don't really realize all the little holes until you're done reading and start thinking about it and wanting more. This was my first Lisa Lutz read and I look forward to reading some of her other work.

My rating 3/5 stars
I enjoyed the fast pace of this novel, which means if you need something to take with you for an afternoon to pass the time somewhere, it's a good option. Other than that, there is not much to recommend it. As others say, there is little to no character development. I understand the character must hide who she is, but from the reader, also? This felt dry, like the skeleton of a good story that never got flesh on its bones. I finished only because I wanted to understand why things ended up as they did. I know that people are attracted to Lutz's humor; it is dry and definitely hits at the right spots. But it comes across as cutting at times, not warm humor. Lutz has talent, but she almost needs a co-writer to give her plot depth and humanity.
