Review of Fake News, a Novel
1 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Fake News, a Novel" by Troy Wilson.]
The lengths to which the powerful people who control the gears of the world can go to make sure their plans become reality, despite their effects on humanity, is highly overwhelming. This is the message this remarkable, inspiring, and truth-revealing book, Fake News, A Novel by Troy Wilson, opens up about. Tomas Stein, a small-town reporter in Boise, is elated when he gets a life-changing call to join a big news media company in Washington, DC. Before this, however, he covered a story about a missing son of a family, a man who had been reportedly missing for 25 years after being involved in a sex scandal with a congresswoman, Marilyn Taylor-Brown. Now working for his new station in DC, Tom is dispatched to a scene where a car and some human remains were found in the Potomac River, a car that turned out to be the missing person's car. While another character turns up missing, and Tom gets caught in a tangled political web between two powerful running mates, he becomes convinced that Jason’s death was a murder involving an "untouchable," and he tries to dig deep into it. Here comes the big question: will he be remotely successful in his endeavor, or will the power of mighty men once again wipe out a perceived obstacle to their success?
When you read a mix of political intrigue, romance, and thriller blended in with some crime mysteries, there’s no way you’re not going to be intoxicated. That’s certainly what this book did to me. My attachment to this book was established from the very first page, as I got a hint of the suspense and thrill that were to come from the very first page.
It was an absolute delight to read this book, as apart from the mind-blowing fictional storyline and plot twists, the author made sure to base everything in this book on factual events. Hinting at real events while weaving an exciting storyline, the author made this book as real and true as they come. I appreciated most of the characters mentioned in this book, as they all had an impact on me with the little they said and did. Tomas was the most notable entity, and I really admired his characteristics, as he had a set of values that are hard to come by in modern-day journalism.
This book had an amazing plot and a highly structured and captivating script, but to tell the truth, I wasn’t happy with the way the book ended. To be totally honest, I felt betrayed and disappointed by the ending of the book. It was very unexpected, and it deeply hurt and left me unsatisfied. This, however, is my only dissatisfaction with this book.
This book was professionally edited, as I found only a few errors in it. All said and done, I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars, as it is very much above average, but not one of the best I’ve ever read. I recommend it to people in love with crime mysteries, especially the ones that revolve around powerful political figures. Lovers of political fiction and romance are also certain to enjoy this book. Do note that this book contains sexual content, so it’s more suitable for a mature audience. Check it out, and don’t forget to thank me later.
