A watch that predicts your final days sounds helpful, but it seems things turn dark when guns come into the picture. I'm really curious how the story explores this idea and the choices people make. Congrats on BOTD!

Oh my, sounds like a fantastic book. I am not so much on the fence about guns but I approve them for some uses and disapprove of them for other uses. So I would be interested on how the book deals with gun violence. I am sensitive to school shootings but sadly they happen and we need to see the outcome of the shooter. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This novel chillingly explores a world with death-predicting tech, revealing humanity's dark side when facing mortality. It raises profound questions about responsibility, gun ownership, and our true nature when given a final notice. A thought-provoking, albeit unsettling, read. Congrats BOTD!

Final Notice by Van Fleisher really made me think. I found myself deeply connected to Vince and Trudi, their love,resiliance and curosity at that stage of life were both heartwarming and inspiring. the concept of receiving a " final notice" was chilling , but what really hit me was how each character responded differently. It made me ask myself what i would do in their shoe. The mix of suspense,emotion and social issues felt so real, it stuck with me long after i finnished the last page

I consider this to be one of the most complete reviews on the site. You can tell that the book was read as it should be, that they paid attention to every detail, and that they seem to have enjoyed reading it. Plus of course, it made me want to put this book on my to-read list!

What if you knew exactly when you’d die—and had nothing to lose? "Final Notice" by Van Fleisher explores a chilling future where a health-monitoring watch predicts your final days… and some use that time to settle scores. Gripping, timely, and deeply thought-provoking. Congratulations on being BOTD!

This book has a great plot that immediately increased my curiosity to know more. The concept of a watch predicting people's end is very creative and intriguing. Also some people using it for revenge added suspense into the tale. Overall, the book sounds like an enjoyable read. Thanks for the free copy.

A wonderful story close to reality can be found in the book "Final Notice" by Van Fleisher, which revolves around a wearable gadget that can predict the remaining life of the person who is wearing it. The story appears quite entertaining to me.
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.

Thank you for the interesting review.I like the uniqueness of this book.Death was made as a mystery to all of God's creation but knowing the day you are going to die sounds so scaring.Everything can go out of hand because you know your time is limited.Author Van Fleisher's novel develops the characters so well
The group of doctors who created a watch that monitors people's health and predict their death shows how learned people can be.Would like to know how those who used the watch behaved after knowing their numbered days.Congratulations on being the BOTD.

Final Notice" by Van Fleisher, a book that features the United States, and scientific predictions. It will be interesting to find out how a single watch can predict the end of an individual lifetime relation to sickness. IThe book has an interesting theme.

The idea of knowing exactly when you’ll die is terrifying and fascinating. What stood out to me is how some characters used that knowledge to make things right, while others used it as an excuse for revenge. It really raises deep questions about personal responsibility, gun access, and how fear can twist human behavior.

Final Notice levanta questões provocadoras: o que você faria se soubesse que só tem mais alguns dias de vida? O livro é inteligente ao usar essa premissa para explorar a natureza humana — especialmente como o medo, o ódio ou a busca por justiça podem ser ampliados diante da morte iminente.

A escrita é direta e o ritmo prende, mas o que mais chama atenção são as discussões éticas. A crítica ao fácil acesso a armas nos EUA é clara, e o autor não poupa ironias ao mostrar como o medo pode justificar atitudes extremas.

Por vezes, o enredo pode parecer um pouco didático ou maniqueísta, com personagens representando ideias mais do que pessoas complexas. Mas no geral, Final Notice é um livro envolvente e que deixa o leitor pensando.
