The flow of the review is really good, from the synopsis, to the story structure, to the reviewer's personal view of some of the story content shows a detailed and well-informed opinion about the story itself. Even though the story doesn't sound monotonous, still. the zest and zing seem to be missing.
If the heart is clear, it doesn't matter if there's a storm brewing in the sky.

Zona: The Forbidden Land was all shades of captivating. The storyline and plot were everything a reader could wish for. The author's descriptive skill was unique. He explained, in explicit detail, the characters' adventures to Zona. I liked some of the Russian food and places mentioned. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

This was an interesting read for me. Although the main character, Grant Taylor, often irked me. I gave it a 4-star rating.

An interesting fictional adventure story with essence of danger, suspense, romance, and mystery is nicely presented in the book "Zona: The Forbidden Land" by Fred G. Baker. The story revolves around a university professor, who is trying to find his missing uncle in forbidden zone near Siberia. The story appears quite entertaining to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This sound like an interesting expedition I wouldn't mind the expedition myself and wants Grant Taylor's special ability I guess the mysterious part is that Grant will find his uncle alive thanks for the review I enjoyed it.

There were many sorts of intriguing things in Zona: The Forbidden Land. The premise and storyline met all of the reader's expectations. The author had a special talent for description. The adventures of the heroes were explicitly described to Zona. Some of the Russian cuisine and locations described were good. Congrats on botd!

Just from reading this review, I feel like there is something mysterious going on. I don't believe that the uncle died, maybe he's in danger. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Currently reading this. The description of the island is quite magical but I'm hoping that it comes soon in the book. Congratulations on being listed as Book Of The Day.

Grant's loyalty to his family is admirable. I'd just take the estate and go back to good, old, safe teaching. Not Grant. He dares to venture into the very region that has swallowed his uncle Randall and countless others in an attempt to rescue him. And thanks to that we have got a no doubt action-packed, mysterious narration in which to relish our hearts! Congrats on the BOTD!

Another adventurous book, but this one was different because it didn't make me feel like I had to rush to the end of the book in order to stop the lost character from being thrown into the snake pit. At the same time, I wanted to. I think its brave of the author to use a subject that's been written about so many times and put his own twist on it, making it work for him as well. I think the review is done in an upbeat manner and invites the reader to get a copy and start reading. Congrats for being BOTD!
