Official Review: The Broadcast by Liam Fialkov

This book sounds like it would be a very interesting read. A psychological thriller with time travel involved seems fascinating. I like that the characters are well developed and well thought out. It's too bad about the rushed ending and thr lack of dialogue in the book. Thanks for the great review.

I read a book recently that did something similar with the dialogue and I couldn't stand it. Dialogue is what keeps a story going and makes it feel more real. This won't stop me from researching this novel more though.

Great review. I was hooked from the start. I really want to sit down and read this one.

I read the sample of this book, very interesting to say the least. I can tell the author truly put his best foot forward with the way this is written. I don’t believe I’ll read the whole book, however I really enjoyed the sample. Congratulations on BOTD!

Thanks for this great review. I don't think I have ever read anything about time travel that is tied to a tv show. This seems unique and well thought out. I am sorry that the ending was disappointing and though the book was character driven and believable I agree with you I like to see dialogue between characters.

The novel has a lot of mysteries. It has to do with a murder that happened years ago and is linked to a series of newscasts. These series contains footages of the accident that happened years ago but is the films real or fake? Meet Officer Tucker is determined to solve the mystery at all cost.

Sounds intriguing, but as though it could probably have done with a strong content editor to clean up the telling rather than showing, and help the author improve the rushed ending.

This sounds like an enthralling story of mystery and suspence. I like the character of the police officer who is reluctant to be in a TV show. I also like the journalist who does the interview. It boggles the mind if this technology was available to us today. The crimes that could be solved and the mysteries that could be explained. This is not my usual genre, however I can see myself enjoying this book. Great review.

I read your review with interest as I also read the free sample. I agree it is an easy and interesting read. I do not know what you consider as young audience but I would not allow my young children to read this on their own as I see this book as having adult themes even without violence or graphic events.

The rushed ending has me a bit concerned because of the time commitment to a longer book but other than that this sounds great! I love psychological thrillers!

Thank you for your concise review. The first chapter sounded to me like a retelling if the OJ case. The similarities were bit distracting. However, I do love a good mystery. Thanks for sharing!

The Broadcast

Wow, this review sounds a lot! Makes me wonder how did they know the missed out points of the murder cases. The story sounds one of a kind, too. I'll surely read this book!

Your review is very informative. I now know what to expect from The Broadcast thanks to your review. I'm curious to know about this notorious murder and even to learn of more events that happened many years ago. I already like this book. Like you, I also like finding out things for myself and I understand why you felt the ending to be rushed. I'm still looking forward to reading this psychological thriller.

Ooh, cold cases and intrigue! This sounds like a really interesting storyline, though I will admit that the author's use of telling instead of showing is a bit of a turn-off for me. I'll definitely be checking out the sample, though!
