I really like this idea of a dystopian world told in a series of vignettes. While I agree that I like to know more about each character, I think it's a unique way of going about telling a dystopian story. Also, I like that it is centered around a well-liked leader getting assassinated that isn't within the United States. I look forward to reading it!

Even though stories about crime make me feel sad when I read them, but I definitely always want culprits to be punished.

Political thrillers are always good. No one will fail to love this anthology of short stories that is written by different people but their idea is the same. I thought it was the bible. Thanks for the BOTD team.

I enjoyed the opening chapters very much. Without having read the whole book I wouldn’t have known it was written as a series of shorter vignettes without your review. This fact doesn’t make me want to read the entire work any less. The author's style grabbed my attention from the outset and I am anxious to finish it!

The book makes use of an anthology format that serves up tantalizing morsels of stories. I honestly can't wait to read it as the premise captivated my imagination.

Going Gone by Abraham Lopez

A thrilling start! As you read through the pages, you feel moved by the flow of the story. Action packed , relatable and very convincing. Must read for those who want fast paced thrillers but heart warming at the same time.

This sounds like it could be an exceptionally interesting read. I'm a fan of both short stories and dystopian fiction, so perhaps I'm a bit biased.

Thank you for mentioning the issue with bouncing from character to character. I am one of those who is driven crazy by issues with character development, so it's good to know going in what to expect.

It is unusual to see dystopian literature told in this way. The reviewer's description almost reminds me of some of Asimov's collected works, though with a very different flavor.

Thank you for your review. This book sounds very interesting. I've never read anything like it before. The idea of a novel consisting of just multiple vignettes is very fascinating to me. I'll have to give it a try.

This novel sounds rather intriguing, and I am curious to check it out! I love a good dystopian story, and I am a sucker for political stuff. I can't wait to check it out! I must add to my amazon wishlist.
