Review of Void
[Following is a volunteer review of "Void" by Tayma Tameem.]
The Gallager's are a happy and fulfilled family of four. Ryan and Sally are husband and wife doing their absolute best to keep their children, Jessica and AJ comfortable and safe. On the night of AJ's first birthday, he vanishes from his crib. Ryan and Sally go through hell and back because of their missing one year old son. Can the police find him? Who could have taken AJ and for what reason? Was he still alive?
Alan Banks is a detective who is calculative at carrying out his duties. He is also a man of integrity who gets involved in the Gallager's case. For a man of such status and experience, this case was surprisingly hard for him to crack. There was no lead whatsoever from the forensics. Would he persevere till the end or could he possibly give up along the way?
Firstly, I would love to say that Void by Tayma Tameem is an extremely realistic book. Despite being fiction, reading through its pages, I felt the true nature of life seep out very often. Ryan and Sally's emotions were portrayed exceptionally and I believe that anyone who gets to read this book would feel it too. The public is easily swayed by information seen on any media. This day, you are their hero and everyone is falling at your feet and the next, you are the most hated person on the planet because of one measly piece of information that is probably not true.
I had various emotions as I read through this book. In the beginning, I was very much excited. I wanted to see how everything was going to play out. I had already chosen a character whom I believed was the culprit but I couldn't fathom any reasonable motive except that the person was mentally unstable. Nearing the middle, I felt annoyed. Things were getting out of hand and the characters were acting unreasonably. I felt pure satisfaction towards the end of the book. It was kind of expected and I look forward to the next book.
Amongst the countable positive aspects, I cannot withhold my love for the picture the author painted. The emotions were raw and undeniable.
Some of the characters put me off. I guess that was something I didn't like. From Sally's paranoia to Amy Sloan's power-hungry attitude to the gullible public. Amy was a detestable person who didn't care about the truth, didn't listen to instructions, and only cared about her selfish self and career.
I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Every chapter was written carefully conveying a beautifully sculpted message. I found no errors in this book and would love to give a thumbs-up to the editor.
This book is highly recommended to parents who may have lost a child in a similar or not-so-similar manner. You are not alone in whatever you are going through. It is not a good experience but it would get better along the way. Also recommended to lovers of realistic, suspense-filled, and thrilling fiction.
