The Broadcast
By Liam Fialkov
The book draws its name “The Broadcast” from the mysterious show that is aired on television in the storyline, depicting accurate past events. The book unites people from different walks of life most of which have no idea that they are related. The main characters include a married couple: Jonathan and Sarah who are childless and have been trying to conceive to no avail for a very long time. Some of the characters also have heightened senses and experience some sort of premonitions.
Sarah appears to be battling personal demons from her past that have a lot to do with her previous teenage pregnancy that is shrouded with mystery. She desperately wishes to be re-united with her baby that was given up for adoption. Her husband also is a man with his own trials and has also recently reconciled with his estranged brother, Walter who happens to be the producer for the television network that airs the show. The show helps the police solve cold cases because it airs clips that show the crimes being committed as well as identify the perpetrators. However, after the novelty dies viewers start questioning the authenticity of the tapes and demand to know the origin of the said tapes.
For me, the book was worth reading because it has many characters whose lives are related through bizarre ways. Despite the numerous characters the book was clear to understand and it kept me intrigued trying to figure out who was responsible for supplying Walter with the tapes for his show. I also enjoyed reading the many chapters that dwelt on different characters separately. The book is well organized and straightforward. The author did a wonderful job of researching as is evident in the way he describes historical events such as World Wars.
The author used flashbacks and some out of the ordinary occurrences, that makes the reader aware of different talents that people can possess. It also raises questions on spirituality and influences of spiritual leaders on their followers. The book also portrays loyalty and human relationships. It emphasizes the importance of family, both through blood and adoption. It explores the invincible threads that bind families.
I give the book a 4 out of 4 star rating because it was well written and edited professionally. It has very few mistakes and the style of writing makes it easy to follow and understand the events in the book. I believe a lot of people who are intrigued by mystery and believe in existence of higher powers will enjoy the book.
