I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars .
THE BROADCAST is an excellent story that is captivating from the first page. I felt immediately sympathetic to the main character and her journey. I enjoyed the twists and turns throughout the story and I will admit that I shed more than a tear or two as Sarah fought to find her child. As a mother, this is a must read because it so eloquently addresses the bond between mother and child and the lengths a mother will go to in order to uncover the truth and find her child. As an Editor, this is a must read because it is a well-structured and organized story that discusses relevant themes.
Sarah fights against all odds to find her child. Through plots, intrigue, and deception she perseveres. The conflict carried me through the pages at a lightning pace. I had to know the final resolution. With each page, I became more attached to Sarah and her plight. I felt invested in the characters and their story. As an editor who reads books every single day, it's a challenge to get me invested in a character, let alone a plot.
This does have some elements that have been used before, but what story doesn't. Because of it's similar concept to other movies, I couldn't give it a full 4 star rating. Despite those similarities (you might remember a movie plot based around a certain character being televised without their knowledge) Liam Fialkov approaches the topic in a fresh way and one which should be read by all who want a story that will stir their emotions and make them want to turn the page because they have to know how it ends. Trust me, you might not expect this ending.
THE BROADCAST is an intellectual and thrilling ride from start to finish. I recommend this book to all who want to find something different but still holds a sense of familiarity. THE BROADCAST will make you feel something that we all should, a sense of connection. If more authors would discuss themes like those in THE BROADCAST, literature would be in a much better state than it currently is. If you're a fan of thrillers ala Stephen King or Michael Crichton then I have to say you need to add this book to your library. Liam Fialkov is one to add to your favorite authors list today.
