Fantastic review; I've also read this book. The author's concept truly captivated me; Jake's extraordinary talent seems to be both a blessing and a burden. Additionally, I share your sentiments regarding the excessive profanity throughout the book.

I was so intrigued by reading your 1st paragraph of the book and what a different concept but suddenly again by your review, it concluded that it lost it's plotline. It feels sad when good story loose it's essence at middle.

Yes. I was very much intrigued by the blurb but was disappointed in the book.

From your review, it's clear that the book starts strong with an engaging plot and a straightforward writing style that draws readers in. However, you found the story became repetitive and lost some of its initial appeal as it progressed. Issues like the use of profanity, drug references, and the introduction of numerous characters detracted from the main plot for you. The characters, while individually interesting, sometimes seemed to overshadow the central storyline about Jake's newfound power.

Yes. The plot could have been developed way better.

Paranormal themes are something I always avoid. I simply don't find it interesting to read. As the reviewer confirmed, the lack of a proper plot and overuse of profanity and drugs all discouraged me from reading the book even more.
Thanks for the review.

Just Die by E Alan Fleischauer

This is a Paranormal Thriller with a very intriguing plot. The unique blurb captivated me and I started reading the book immediately.

The story is about Jake Silver, a financial planner, who acquires paranormal power after suffering a stroke. It is not an usual paranormality like seeing ghosts or moving things with vision but a monstrous devastating ability. He can take away a life, just like that, by pointing his finger and whispering "Just die". He was suspicious at first when he accidentally killed a moaning patient and a foul-mouthed biker. But then he confirms his unearthly potential by putting away a rabid racoon using his finger and words. What he does with this miraculous power is the rest of the story.

The author starts the story with a bang. The concept of this unusual power is eccentric. The writing style is simple and easy to follow. I got engrossed in the story easily. But after a few chapters, it started to get repetitive and boring. Firstly, I didn't like the fact that Jake Silver's mother had taught him to whisper "Just die" instead of doing the offensive gesture. There are many other ways to control rage. This is not what a mother should be teaching her child.

Also, I encountered many profane words which might put off readers like me. It also has a fair mention of drugs usage which is not my interest. As the story progressed, many characters were introduced which obfuscated me. But the portrayal of the characters is fascinating. Each and every character like DC and Beth Ann have their own story. Yet sometimes, this overloaded the novel and deviated the story from main plot. After some point, Omar's fandom becomes irritating. I felt that the characters didn't realize the value of life and they were just playing with a dangerous power.

The editing was very good and professional. I didn't find any mistakes.

I kept on reading the book expecting a good ending. But I was flabbergasted by the way the author ended the book abruptly. It left me pondering if there will be a sequel to it.

It's my view that a little more work on the plot would have done wonders to this book.

My rating for this book is 3 out of 5.

So it's Death Note the book huh... what will Jake do with his newfound lethal power? The premise already has me hooked.

This is a thriller, and I am here for all the action. It doesn't seem like the regular action-packed, and I look forward to its unique storyline. I am not a fan of the title. I immediately felt it would be filled with profane words, and you confirmed it. Seems to be good enough for a read, though. Thanks for the in-depth review.
