I wish the reviewer gave more details about what happened because I cannot think of a reason why someone trying to make a difference is labeled as a serial killer!

This final-installment crime thriller sounds like it gives a thought-provoking viewpoint in making this world a safer place to live. I have added this book to my reading list. Great review!

The book is certainly an exciting aspect of the author's experiences. What I appreciated most about this book is the balance the author manages to find between keeping the action going and creating an immersive world. Congrats on BOTD.

'Official Review: The Attunist' by Gary B. Haley well explains the various components of the action thriller story for enthusiastic readers. It is positive and enriching. The point that the book portrays a real-life event that occurred and was experienced by the author is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that this is a story told to encourage everyone seeking to do good and those who are being persecuted for choosing a crime-free life, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book is a work of art and a masterpiece!

Thank you for the review, and especially the heads-up about the disjointed chapters going forward. I agree with you on the benefit of the forward allowing this to be a stand-alone, but also, like you, it's made me want to read the first 2. I'm looking forward to seeing if I agree with your 4/4 by the end; I suspect I will.

The Attunist sounds absolutely intriguing :) Though it may be exaggerated in the book, its theme of good versus evil sounds like it could parallel reality all too easily. I am definitely reading this book! Thank you for a great review.

In The Attunist by Gary B. Haley, the portrayal of the event the author experienced seems like a revenge-thirsty flamboyant character who justifies his actions in the name of justice.

I love the plot of this book. It sounds like movies where someone is out to do what the law and the state fails to do, but these laws now label, that person as being bad. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day. Looking forward to reading this book.

This is the final part of the fictional series. Gary B. Hale's introduction that the fiction is based on his real life experiences and, that he does all the hardwork of research which includes travelling to places to give his readers a authentic experience impressed me. His Attunist series seems to be very interesting read because it is based on real incidents. Your have reviewed the book so well. Congratulations on the BOTD!

The Attunist appears to be in favor of vigilante justice. Society often persecutes people who do not rely on law enforcement. Courts are not governed by justice, they are bound by the laws they seek to enforce; laws sometimes favor criminals. I can see why the Attunist chose his targets though. Nice review.

I've watched movies where people dedicated their lives to eliminating criminals from society and this book couldn't have come at a more opportune time. Thanks for the review and for the recommendation too.

The review is great but I don't think I am drawn to read the book. I do like that it discusses the concept of being good anyway.

You provide an intriguing review of The Attunist by Gary B. Haley. I like crime thrillers, but with the ongoing political debates between crime and justice in the United States today, this would not be a read to my personal preference. I partially admire your description of how the author aimed to eliminate drug dealers and terrorist organizations from society; however, his society's view of him as a serial killer is no surprise to me. I prefer a more peaceful society with justice, but those that kill someone are often wished misfortune by their loved ones.
