Aside the America-Israel involvement, I don't seem to understand the whole book concept. The review is not totally comprehensive.
Anyway, I will read to decipher what the book is about by myself.

Just the sample pages was enough to determine that this will be a good book to read. Action starts immediately and with vivid descriptions that pull the reader into the story.

Going fine is a good dystopian novel with insights on various types of political wars that can happen in a country and the reasons behind them.
Personally, I find the vignettes very interesting as well as the organization of the book and the plot.
Another thing I am going to enjoy about it is that they would be different point of views because in a war this big, there should and that spices up the whole book trying to understand each character and their reasoning.
This book is very good and I can't wait to read it.

I find the story of Jessie and the LARGOnauts rather amusing. And the fact that this investigative journalist thinks she can gain information from the cult for her gain. Nice review.

I've read the sample and those few pages gripped me completely. Now that I've read your review I will most probably read an edited version of this book. It's quite an unique novel using different points of view to unfold the events and yet I enjoy getting to know new characters, so this might detract from my enjoyment. You've done another great review!

It opened my curiosity on how will Jessie convinced the leaders of cult the wants to be in. And how will be her life together with them. It intrigued me and urged me to read the book. Thanks for you review.

This sounds so intriguing, especially seeing the trouble you had trying to summarise it. The method is interesting, I'm glad that the multiple P.O.V largely worked. I can't wait to give it a read. I love dystopian novels.

I haven't read any dystopian books for a while now. Maybe I will give this a try but I am not sure yet because I am not really into political drama. But it's not gonna hurt to put this on my bookshelf ^^ Thanks for the recommendation

Thank you for your review. I must agree with you, reading the sample, i found that I was drawn to the words written and couldn't stop reading. After reading the review on Amazon, I didn't realize that this book is a series of short-stories, each independent of each other, yet all inter-connected and told from a different perspective, which is related to the one terrible incident. Reading your review, made me want to read the entire book. Although I normally prefer knowing the outcome of characters in a story, I will be able to shift my focus from characters to the event that occurred. I'm glad that the author took a different approach to writing this story. Normally short stories are stand-alone chapters that not dependent on the other chapters, but the author has uniquely created a series of chapters, which are inter-connected to each other through one incident. I will definitely read this book.
