Review of Radioland
[Following is a volunteer review of "Radioland" by m.e. Elzey.]
Set in the America of the 1990s, (i))Radioland(/i) is a historical fiction written by M.E. Elzey.
Harry Chalberg, a 79 year old lawyer comes out of retirement to fight against those responsible for the cold-blooded murder of his elder son and his newly wed wife. He, along with his 89 year old assistant Mariam Katz, seek justice for the untimely death of his children. He has been trying to file a lawsuit against Cal Brown, originally called Calvin Brown, the host of a radio talk show and New Signal News (NSN). Now you might wonder how a certain news agency could be responsible for the death of people. Well, the Cal Brown Show is a conservative afternoon radio show. Initially it was a place to share opinions about everything but as it progressed it became so much more. The show had the power to influence people in an unthinkable way. Harry Chalberg believes the content of the show is not only responsible for his son’s murder but also of the mass murder at Dakota. The question is whether Harry Chalberg will be able to sue NSN or will his efforts go in vain. Would he be able to make the media responsible for their actions or would they continue jeopardizing everything to their advantage?
M.E. Elzey also covers how businessmen exploit people for money and power. Businessmen like Hailey Austin have no care for the country or people. Their only goal is to maximize the profits and create wealth even at the cost of death of thousands. They create false impressions of the “American culture”, race superiority, instill homophobic thoughts, and create hate for the liberals. They use media and shows like the Cal Brown Show to further their intentions.
The thing that I liked the most about this book is how real it is. Reading this book you get insights as to what the consequences of free press can be. That doesn’t mean that restrictions should be imposed on the media. It just says that the people who have power to influence people use this power judiciously. They should watch what they say and take responsibility for their actions. This book is a complete knowledge bank. Also, the end of the book was very unexpected.
The negative part of the book is that it is not professionally edited. So, many dialogues are mixed. Sometimes you have to go back to the sentences to make sense of what is written. Sometimes you just want to skip some parts because they don’t seem relevant.
Finally,I would like to give this book 3/4 stars because it covers some very relevant topics. At the end you would definitely take something from it. I deduct one star because it isn’t very professionally edited. It also contains vulgar language so people who have any problem with profanity might refrain from reading. I recommend this book to people who like to read about history, politics, contemporary issues and their impact on the world.
