Assuming you had a watch that could tell you when you would die, what would be your next action? Lots of crazy decisions and actions were taken by characters in this book, Final Act by Van Fleisher. Grab a copy of this book to catch a glimpse of what this story is all about.

A watch that could tell when one was about to die was created by Patel. These VT2 watches helped people to make decisions and have time to say their goodbyes before dying. It also helped people to avoid making some decisions that could have cost them their lives. This watch became treasured by all, not until things started to go sideways. The Russians took advantage of this to commit crimes. People who had received their final notice saw it as a chance to live recklessly and commit crimes. The crime rate increased, and Patel regretted making these watches. He now has to join forces with an FBI agent, Zoe, to put an end to all this.

Firstly, the concept of this book was thought-provoking. I never wondered what I would do if I was told when I would die. The idea is scary, but it is worth the thought. I love how this author was able to carve out an amazing storyline like this. The characters in this book developed perfectly, and they were all unique in their own way. They were all described in full detail so that the readers could easily picture what they looked like. The style and tone of writing in this book are capable of drawing one's attention fully to this book. In most books, the transition between the past, present, and future scenes is always confusing, but it was different in this book. There was an easy and smooth transition between different time frames.

In my opinion, the book cover was not really captivating and could make people withdraw their interest in reading it. Aside from this, I think this book is perfect and I do not suggest any other improvements to it. This book shows that humans can change their behavior when caught in the middle of a tight situation.

This book is worth a full rating, and I am rating it four out of four stars. I gave it a full rating because it was interesting and thought-provoking. I did not come across any errors while reading this book, which shows that it was exceptionally edited. I recommend this book to people who love to read crime and thriller novels. Children should stay away from this book as it contains vulgar words and a good amount of violence.

The argument blew my mind. The cover doesn't grab my attention. Is it the symbol of communism? I also think it should be changed.

A watch that will tell you when you die? That sounds really scary and amusing. I think the book cover is not very attractive considering how interesting the story line is. Great review

I knew a watch like this would do more harm than good. I look forward to reading how Patel and the FBI put an end to those using these watches for illegal purposes. Nicely written review.

Latest Review: Best Evidence by Mark S. Osaki

Post by Einsthawkton Edeh »

When I first saw that a watch that could tell when one was about to die was developed, I had a hunch that bad people were going to abuse it. As I read on, I discovered that my hunch was correct. Bad people will always take advantage of things like this.
Thank you for this detailed review. I enjoyed reading it.

A watch that could tell your time of death? Wow, the idea sounds incredible. If only people used it for what it was designed for. Good review.

The VT2 watch's impact on society's perception of crime is a pivotal theme in "Final Act."
