Sounds quite interesting, I love the fact that the book is based on controversial real life issues : something to ponder on while at the same time enjoying a good read!

“Final Notice" by Van Fleisher is an interesting book. If only life was really as the author described in the book, life is a gift but knowing when it all ends is a bigger gift and can give you a chance to put your business in order. Congratulations on being BOTD.

"This watch is based on science and not magic, therefore it can not predict sudden death as in a car accident or murder. With this new watch, people are able to get a “final notice” anywhere from a month to a few days before their time is up." An interesting review! Keen on reading the book.

Final Notice by Van Fleisher does sound interesting. I do believe in gun ownership so I might not be the right reader for this one. I do however, believe that technology is advancing so quickly that the device is believable. I think your ultimate expiration date is in the hands of our maker and wouldn’t rely on an electronic device if I were going to do something bad before my demise. What if it was wrong?

The concept of a watch that predicts someone’s death is mind-blowing. I’m curious to see how people’s lives change when they know their time is running out.

What would i do if i only realise i have i few days left?
While i am afraid of gun i strongly believe protecting one's self is vital with the drama of this world,thats exactly what vince and trudi did for protection in a desructive battle against morality or mortality.The book FIANAL NOTICE give a clearpoint when violence become the expected response to fear or insult,technology will only amplify the harm.

I find the idea intriguing, both in the review and from the key to the plot of the novel. A device that you wear like watch that can predict the medical reason and time when you will die. Like many new science fiction novels, technology does not play a major role but rather the social consequences and the effects of technology on human individuals. The review brings to light the intrigue in the novel and amplifies it for the reader in a sparkling manner.

I downloaded the book to sample as part of the daily giveaway, and to try something new, but I wasn't initially sold on it since it's a bit out of my usual range of interests. Your review has definitely caught my attention and inspired me to see it through. Thank you for this well-crafted and thoughtful response to the book!

Latest Review: Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella) by Steve William Laible

Post by Bettny Andrade »

This book is definitely a great choice. The fiction mixed with medical terms and probability-related issues creates a predictive, quantitative effect. How interesting to be able to know the moment of your death. Of course, it's presenting a normal pathology, although it's well known that many people cling to life no matter how delicate their health. It's the woman's book, interesting in terms of the reckoning by people who know that there will no longer be anyone who can punish them because their end will soon be. #BOTD

Thank you for the review. I read the sample. A California senior couple talks about buying a gun for protection after the husband was attacked on the street. A device that tells when a person will die could make a mistake, and the owner would probably sue in this day and age. Congrats to the author on the #BOTD.

If there was a machine to predict the final days of my life, I doubt I would use it. This book, Final Notice by Van Fleisher, is a masterpiece with a unique plot. Congratulations on the book of the day.

I loved this book, the first in the series. It has quite a political statement about gun laws in the US, which may frustrate some readers. The tech parts of the story are my favourites.

"Final Notice" by Van Fleisher explores the idea of a device that predicts an individual's death within a month. The various reactions of those who receive this final notice are indeed intriguing. This narrative has prompted me to reflect deeply on how I might respond in such a situation. I appreciate your engaging review.

In Van Fleisher's fiction novel Final Notice, which is set in the United States of America and chronicles the fallout from a new device that can predict a person's last days, a group of doctors have developed a watch that, by continuously monitoring your vital signs and health, can predict when you will die as long as it is associated with old age or illness. Very good BOTD

Final Notice explores questions without easy answers. I like it. The book is enjoyable for people who contemplate about death, last moments, guns, and living a life with no regrets. If you have strong political opinions, you'll also enjoy it!
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:
