Review of Final Notice
[Following is a volunteer review of "Final Notice" by Van Fleisher.]
In Van Fleisher's Final Notice, the author poses the question, "What would you do if you knew you only had 30 days to live? Would you say goodbye to your loved ones, organize your affairs, or exact vengeance on those who you believed had wronged you? The premise of this novel revolves around an invention; a sports watch called VT2, created by Vijay Patel. This gadget not only kept track of the wearer's vitals but also could predict when a person would die, with an accuracy of thirty days. A month is plenty of time for people to react to the news of their impending death; some reactions are more drastic than others. This watch is geared toward a senior audience. Read along to find how a multitude of different people responds to finding out the date of their death.
I enjoyed how the NRA played into the vulnerability of the senior age group; they promoted weapons for older people to combat the violence against them. The consequence of this was that people wearing the VT2 were more likely to be armed, and the news of deaths pushed people to seek vengeance using said weapons. The author claims that the book's purpose is to encourage people to start a conversation about gun legislation and gun control. The book is set in the United States of America, where there has been an upsurge in mass shootings and crimes involving firearms as well as in discussions about gun regulation. I particularly enjoyed this book since it brought to light some of the larger problems that the nation faces, even those unrelated to firearms, such as racism. The main idea of this book was brilliant; human nature is unpredictable, and the concept of knowing when you will die shattered any predictable aspect of human behavior. I enjoy how many individuals are employed to further various concepts in the narrative. To illustrate the prejudice that natives have against immigrants, for instance, Vince and Trudi Fuller, as well as their non-native acquaintances are used. The author utilizes them and their negative experiences to illustrate the worries of senior individuals in a world that is getting more hostile and where carrying a gun is progressively becoming the norm for the elderly. Will they overcome their concerns and apprehensions or will they give in to the pressures of a challenging environment is the question. Several characters with law enforcement or political ties in addition to the aforementioned personalities, provide the plot with some much-needed depth.
In terms of negative facets, there were none, from my perspective. Since there were no errors, typos, or otherwise, the book was professionally edited. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars since I enjoyed it so much.
I believe this book is only suitable to mature readers due to mentions of violent crimes and deaths. This novel would appeal to readers with a passion for thrillers, as well as psychological books.
