Official Review: The People's Pandemic by C.E.Spears
China seeks to become the world’s leading economy, but at what cost? It all started with a laboratory experiment, and this experiment would affect the entire world. Indeed, power intoxicates the mind, and some leaders would get it at all costs.
Chen Li was a talented young girl who was taught the value of loyalty to her nation. She was taught how to deploy her abilities just like any other Chinese citizen for her country’s good. Soon, she grew up with this mindset. But does patriotism override humanity? Major James Hanley was willing to sacrifice everything for his country, alongside other men of repute.
Was China selfish to ignore the well-being of the rest of the world? Was this a conspiracy theory? This fictional book, The People’s Pandemic, will answer these perturbing questions. This is the first book in The Zone 8 Series.
Reading this book was a thrill for me because of the concepts of sacrifice and love for one’s country portrayed in the book. The author was able to manifest these themes from a realistic standpoint.
What I liked most about the book was the way he developed the characters in the novel, as he walked his readers through their growth. Chapter three laid the core foundation of Chen Li’s character, which traces her actions throughout the book.
The positive aspect of the book was the sequence of the occurrences in the book. C. E. Spears broke down the chapters into the point of view of certain significant characters and each event’s location. The author tied these events together with a silver string, as he allowed his readers to unravel these hidden events. I liked the fact that there were no predictable occurrences in the novel.
Also, I liked the rationale of the author. He avoided exaggeration of the qualities of his characters. Most times, in a fictional book, the positive attributes of heroes tend to be exaggerated, but C. E. Spears revealed to us through James Hanley’s experience with Chen Li that heroes are humans too.
The negative aspect was that a few chapters were backward. It made the plot of the book difficult for me to comprehend. At some point, I felt the element of flashback was adequately implemented in some chapters.
Another thing I found as a negative issue about the book was that the pages were not numbered. This issue made it hard for me to trace where I had stopped in the cause of my reading. Also, I was almost unable to trace certain events in the story.
My rating was because of the problems I discussed above. Therefore, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. However, I could not remove more stars because of the way the writer articulated the book. Likewise, this book was not edited professionally. I recommend it to those interested in conspiracy theories and those interested in fictional illustrations of modern-day realities.
