At some point of life, we all have wished if we could know when we close our eyes forever. But this book seems to prove that if it is possible, then there would be grave consequences. The idea of inventing a device that can predict our end is something that is likely to happen in future and the consequences that come with it is unavoidable. This book really talks some facts. I am eager to read it.
Your review was very detailed and helpful. Thanks for it.

Such a controversial and original topic! You have definitely got my attention with the review, I will add the book to my reading list. This is a good topic to think about, what we would do if we would know how many days we have left?

"Final Notice" by Van Fleisher is a work of fiction and at the center is a new device capable of predicting the end of someone's life. This watch constantly monitors the wearer's vital signs and health 24/7 and thus bases its ability to predict someone's death as long as it is caused by natural causes.

The book sounds like a pretty exciting one. It will be interesting to read about people's reaction at their final notices. Besides the book touches some social issues which are very important nowadays like gun laws and possession and religious discrimination. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Final Notice by Van Fleisher seems like an interesting read. If everyone knew exactly when they would die, I'm sure they would definitely live their best life until their final moment, even though some might want to use it to do evil deeds. Congratulations on BOTD!

Gun ownership? This book portrays it as a problem and protection. Final notice sounds like an interesting concept. I'm not amazed that the watch was used for selfish gain. Good review.

Wow, this book already caught my attention. I would definitely read it. The subject is great, talking about a device that can predict when someone is going to die and all the consequences it makes. I really liked it.

For some reason, the plot reminded me of the movie In Time. It’s Interesting and sounds suspenseful. How a group of doctors could make a watch that predicts death. It’s a great fiction story with an interesting plot.

I enjoyed the review. This book is more than about gun ownership, it makes us realize how dangerous it can be to try and predict someone's last days. You never know how one will react especially when they have access to guns.

I am sure Africans will agree with me if this watch product or device system is to be introduced to our continent only if it will not have negative effect on the human body. However this a credit to the novel in the sense that l see the story as not only bringing a new thing to the world but in the form of advertising the device which is or will help humans as a whole when it comes to good health. It is indeed all in one novel. Great review.

This was an excellent review. However, I don't think I'd want to know when my time was up like the characters in this book. I prefer to live in the present, and that knowledge will only add to my stress.

Looks like an awesome book. I'm not sure I'd want to know how long I have left, that would be pretty stressful! Thanks for the great and detailed review!

This book has a great plotline that revolves around a device that gives notice of the end of life of the wearer due to illness or old age. My favorite aspect of the book is the reflection that this device rises and also the questions revolving gun ownership. Congrats on the BOTD!
