Oh I looooved this! All my favorite things in one book: disasters, death, Apocalyse, religious idiots, conspiracy...
The end was a bit more boring than the rest of the book and slightly confusing, but still my favorite of this month!

Loved it. It's horror, but not obvious horror.
The format, the book within the book, I loved. So well done.
The set-up: Four planes go down on the same day. One in the Everglades, one near England, one in South Africa, and one in the Suicide Forest in Japan. In three of those crashes, a single child survived. Thus the title.
Who are they? How did they survive? Are they portents? Or are they just extremely lucky or unlucky individuals? What happens to the people around them?
I am NOT doing this book justice. One of the subplots was the most horrifying aspect of the book, just dropped in there to dangle so innocently until you start thinking, "Hey, wait a minute."
Must read more. Can't wait for the series to continue. Can't wait for someone I know to read it so I'll have someone to discuss it with.

Mi rendo conto che sono proprio poche, però... noia mortale. Troppi personaggi, troppi casini. L'idea di sorbirmi 460 pagine di tutto questo mi fa venir voglia di posare il libro ORA. E, guardate un po', è proprio quello che ho fatto. Tanto più che è solo il primo libro di una serie: tanti saluti, cara serie The Three. La lascio in buone mani.

An interesting premise and I finished it because I thought there would be a payoff. There wasn't. I literally said "Huh?" when I read the last page.

Quotes are spectacular.
The cover? Awesome.
The subject is fabulous.
But reading this book was a torture.
If we come to the cause:
A book is promised as a type of horror thriller, but since we can not solve the event, we have no idea what creatures are from ghosts. They are just rumors and rumors. Thanks to our exploring heroism, we are literally reading articles. The book is composed of interviews and writings. The writer gave me so much detail that I thought I might have been there for a moment. It is a successful fiction from the point of view, but it does not really make my reading really enjoyable and Sarah Lotz disappoints me. I do not think I would even give one point to book
I trusted you STEPHEN KING

I've been picking at this book for a month. It just felt like work. Clever premise, but just did not go where the potential could have taken it.
