Official Review: Going Gone by Abraham Lopez

[kandscreeley]

This book sounds interesting, but also like something that could drive me nuts. I am somewhat ambivalent when it comes to dystopian novels, and it sounds like the author pulls off the small vignette way of writing, but I think this one will go in my "maybe" pile. Thanks for the review.

It's really worth a try. If you decide to read it just let me know.

I am intrigued by the anthology method of narrating this story. That way, it mirrors life in all its uncertainties and mysteries. I would be willing to dive into this book; I hope I can find a place to cram it into my bursting want-to-read shelf.

I like the imagery evoked by the title and cover art, the world dying out. And then there were none.

I understand about your to read shelf. If you find some time, this would be a good one to delve into.

Thanks for the well-written, insightful review. I don't care for the dystopian genre although it seems to be quite popular. It's too bad about the frequent grammatical errors since this could have been easily avoided through the use of a good editor.

Thanks bookowlie. I always appreciate your insightful comments!

Dystopian books always seem to have a cutting edge, they have there own unique style of keeping its audience entertaining. Thanks for the review!

Yes. They are unique. This one is one I haven't really seen before though.

I like the idea of interconnected stories. And I agree with the drawback. We don't get to see enough of any character. Especially the ones we begin to like. This books seems interesting. I look forward to reading it.

A collection of interconnected tales that together tell the story of a collapse of a society? Sounds intriguing. Are you sure the murder took place in Israel, though? I didn't see any mention of the country in the sample. Too bad the reader doesn't find out what becomes of each character. I am glad you enjoyed the tale despite the grammatical errors. Thank you for the review!

The book is a compilation of shorts stories, each starring a different protagonist. A different dystopian theme. Thanks for the review.

The Prime Minister of Israel has been assassinated. Somehow, the United States is blamed for his death.

This, of course, results in retaliation.

What ensues is a catastrophe unlike the world has ever seen.

Follow along for this journey of epic proportions.

I recommend this to all who enjoy a good dystopian novel especially one that stands out a bit from the crowd.

I'm not an avid fan of dystopian novels, but I would pick random books in this genre, whenever something in it captures my attention, or anything that could trigger my willingness to read it. Sad to say, this book does not move me. Thanks for the detailed review.

So, this is the type of person I am: I am one who loves to read, but not read something I don’t like. It may go for everyone but there are certain genres I like and there are certain ones I don’t, and that still could be anyone. Here’s the deal the book could be in my favorite genre but if I read a review or an overview of the book and it doesn’t sound like something that would keep me continue to read it I will not read it, unless I have to, or unless I feel like it might go somewhere. I’m not saying that this book is in a genre I would typically read, but I started to read the review and I loved the part about the society and I like books where society is different and people are doing different things from today. This book didn’t show me that I didn’t like the overview of it and that made me mad because I thought I would but not every book is going to be the same.
