Going gone. The author Araham Lopes, book took my imagination far, almost like in the thoughts of a forest, which is about to be burned done. The anxiety of the forest on that moment is so visible.

The story does not have a structure to the storyline. The characters are scattered, and their main roles are not detailed enough to provide the readers with the knowledge of who is who and their relations to the plot of the story. I didn't finish the sample because I feel the book needs more improvement on the plot of the story, the character's roles, and better timelines.

GOING GONE

The story is a tragic one, it is very unique and interesting. It entails a story of different characters...Everything about the novel is perceived.

I love when a collection of stories tie into one overall story. Reminds me of a recent book I read similar to it. I enjoyed that one so much and can't wait to check this one out!

There is the demise of the political system in Israel. It all started with the assassination of the top ranking official. One senator disappeared but actually absorbed by a cult of very powerful influence. An agent came looking for the senator and entered the cult in order to work from within. So many aspect to watch develop in this story. Interesting read. Thanks for the apt review.

1.the jewel thief
The author explains in authentic and rich vocabulary the assassination of a prominent leader, Saiid. He outlines how the assassination was executed and later the killing of the assassin.

2.Going and Gone
This is the aftermath of the assassination of Saiid. A former employee at National security agency, Kurt, is driven by curiosity and suspense in investigating into the murder.

I am a fan of dystopian novels and from your description I think this one deserves a chance. Thank you for your review.

It's very true that glimpses fail to capture characters in their entire dimensions. The content sounds innovative though.

Beautiful review!

For me, this type of approach to point-of-view actually makes the plot more unpredictable and further hooks the readers to the story. I will definitely consider this book for reading. Thank you for the review!
