ARA Review by biju123 of Final Notice
[Following is an OnlineBookClub.org ARA Review of the book, Final Notice.]
The book opens with a look into the quiet and uneventful lives of a pair of pensioners, Vince and Trudy. Vince has a few problems with bullies and his friend circle is eclectic, having people from all ethnic and racial backgrounds in his friends' circle. Their quaint and tranquil life is shattered by a series of homicides, including those committed by some very elderly people, the kind of persons who are least likely to commit mass murder or for that matter any grievous crime.
But unknown to Vince and Trudy, many of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes were also a part of a research project into a new kind of technology used for monitoring one's health parameters. The police are perplexed and try to make the ends meet and make the pieces fall into the jigsaw puzzle. The book finally ends with a mass shooting, this time at the very headquarters and convention of the National Rifle Association, who had been advocating gun ownership for everybody including senior citizens and school teachers.
Final Notice, by Van Fleisher, is as much an arraignment and the denouncement of the American NRA and their policy of gun proliferation that will lead to better security for the man on the streets, according to their twisted ideology, as it is a suspense and action thriller that packs both action and adventure. This book is a chilling reminder as to how a demon can easily possess a man with a gun and turn him into an unrepentant and remorseless death dispensing monster.
It attacks the fundamentals of the American Gun Ownership Policy, here it is much easier to buy a gun than to but an antibiotic for an ear infection. The book is also a satire on the ease of procurement of guns even for old and infirm people, as well as people with indifferent mental health, and also pokes fun at the Great American Farce called Handgun Safety Certification (HSC). And woven into this condemnation of the American Gun Policy are several characters who include racially diverse people including even Syrian Refugees. This book also tries to break down the barriers of racial stereotyping and bias and the heroes of this book are mostly immigrants from the third world.
A totally well-meaning book that is bound to ruffle more than a few feathers in upper echelons of power, and although I must say that I found a few portions of the book a bit too unrealistic, far-fetched, and more likely to happen in a book than real life, especially the scenes were very old and faint people shoot guns with aplomb, only and only because of the very very positive vibes that arise from this book, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 Stars.
