Official Review: The Unfortunate Expiration of Mr. David ...

[Sudheer_bose123]

The Unfortunate Exposition of Mr David Sparks

This book is a philosophical dystopian fiction the pesticides used for crops destroys the agriculture is the fictions sign were the world tells of it is unorganized approach to settlement in this earth and this and more would occur in our near future and to a large extent is occurring in many parts of the world and the pictureisation of Sparks forgetfulness would be termed as a necessity to say the story in its detailed philosophy of an entirely new world were somebody has to think negative or positive of the mis-happenings that do exits.

the science of avoiding modern technology by some and not by other sects describes the war of confusion that always happens between two and here the conclusion the author derives is so fictitious in its own reality were it could be a reality if at all this one day becomes a reality the world has gone too far

A great write of fiction uniquely wrote to a large extent to the authors mind to describe situations and circumstances of disastrous world which exists as it is now and latter what should be done in such arguments by sects to surpass the antagonist

‘Philosophical fiction’ is fascinating terminology and, even from what I’ve read in the sample, probably fits with the very different story. While reading the first few chapters, I wondered if the book was going to be an analogy or allegory of the plight of society or the world. At this stage, I am still unsure but, based on the events thus far, anything is possible.

This book is not for everyone and is a brave concept, as it is easier for readers to engage with characters they like or relate to, or with circumstance or action that is compelling. I’m sure the mysteries, when revealed, are well done and perhaps also significant, however it is probable that not all readers will journey to the end.

I agree with you that it was a little confusing at first, but it sounds like it makes more sense as it progresses. Thanks for the great review!!

I like the fact that the book helps you get to your own conclusions by steadily throwing in bits and pieces. But the formatting issue and confusing beginning is making me reconsider how soon to read it. Perhaps, reading the sample would help me reach a conclusion. Thanks for the review.

Finally a rating that takes into account for the editing errors. I found the sample hard to get into but the review made the story sound interesting. Because of the lack of grab I don’t think I’ll be reading this book.

A unique post apocalyptic read as the reviewer puts it. Further, a dystopian novel that makes you think as you read. I have enjoyed reading the review, thanks.

What a fantastic & imaginative book! Where else can you find a chainsaw-wielding environmentalist? I've only read a few chapters so far but I'm already recommending it to others. The author's writing reminds me of Terry Gilliam's movies--delightfully weird.

Great review, though my experience reading has been a bit different from yours. For some reason, I didn't have the format issues you did. I didn't get far enough for the timeline to jump around--at least I don't think I did--but I really liked how the author transitioned in & out of David's dream state.

At any rate, I didn't find the writing confusing. I felt like the author fed me just enough info to keep me at a state of high intrigue. I mean, even the title! What kind of book is titled after the death of its main character? One that will keep you guessing, that's for sure.

This book sounds very interesting. I especially like the combination of philosophical writing and dystopian fiction. I love a book that makes me think, so I will probably give this one a try when I have the time to give it the attention it deserves. Thank you for the insightful review.

The great thing about sci-fi books are the philosophical questions. I've seen and read about post-apocalyptic world and want to see how Mr. Aicher created one himself. Thanks for the recommendation!

Great review. I too was a little confused in the beginning. So far I really like this story and look forward to reading it entirely.

As I read the review it originally made me think of so many other titles I have read. I'm quite impressed that the future is based upon something newer and more original. It also seems that the lack of formal format is the new format in many newer writings. I may have to put this one up for a nights read, even though post apocalyptic, end of the world isn't really my choice read

I am not a fan of this genre but I enjoyed reading your review. Some scary thoughts about the apocalypse!

[Gracie777]

I guess I am not a dystopian lover since I truly feel this is not my cup of tea. Your review is thoughtfully written but I will have to pass on this one...

I enjoy reading dystopian/post-apocalyptic novels. However, I will read the first chapters of the book before jumping into conclusions. The debate of living in a world with technology vs. going back to the "old times" is also fascinating; I would like to see how that turns out. Thank you for the review.

I didn't even notice the formatting issues because I was so focused on the confusing timeline you mentioned! Once I got into it more, it was alright, but up until chapter four or so I was completely lost. I do enjoy the parallels you drew between our knowledge as a reader and David's as a character, but David was definitely at an advantage compared to us- he could see what was going on, and I had to wade through visual descriptions of location before I even had a grasp of the plot! Ha! But I was definitely intrigued, that's for sure.
