Given what you said about the story versus the more technical aspects of the writing, etc., I'm inclined to think that I will enjoy this book. Since it's only 99 cents, I think I'll grab a copy. I'm really intrigued by the time travel and I like the idea of the historical aspect it contains. Thanks for your insight!

I have sampled the first chapters and I liked the idea and the author's writing style. I noticed he moves from one character to another. Thank you for clarifying the fact that he does a good job in finding a way to veridically connect all different threads of the story.

The mysterious story interests me, although there are always fantasies. This means that if I love them this is because it amuses me. For me this revision is exhaustive because I have the idea about what the author speaks to us through this book after reading.

THE BROADCAST BY LIAM FIALKOV- story is really great and so are the characters. Also, the book does not have graphic nor violent scenes, which made the story suitable for younger audiences. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who is really interested in mystery, character development, and history.

This book sounds like an interesting read. I really am interested in books about time travel, and I like mysteries, too. I think this review would cause me to want to pick the book up and read it just to find out the answers about the show's enigmas. It's disappointing that the characters don't seem to have any real dialogue but with a good enough story, that can be overlooked. I did read the sample and wasn't thrilled with the jumping around to the different characters, but knowing it'll all be tied together, I'd be willing to finish reading the book just to get to all of the mysteries.

Despite the flaws, I can see that your review still shows that this book is highly recommended. Well, you definitely got my attention because tbh, I don't find this book appealing at first. Anyway, I added this already on my tbr. kudos!

review of "The Broadcast" by Liam Fialkov.]

The most thrilling story I have ever read in my life . story filled with conspiracy theories all through ,some proven others awaiting and others lost in the thin air.

The book has very fascinating characters like Michael the adopted kid in a happy family now he got a sister who she feel is more advantaged but his foster parents try compensate on that .He is talented and a bright kid and very outgoing especially at school school where even the teachers like him.We see how humble he is when they form a music band and just doesn't want to be the lead vocalist.

Jonathan and Walter are brothers both antagonist which was brought up by the death of there parents.walter try to blame Jonathan for everything , having the chance to be with there parent till the last minute,while Jonathan blame Walter for not being there for him after they were separated by the social workers

Walter is now a TXB producer a broadcasting company that is airing the unsolved muder,He later meets with this police officer , a nice guy who isn't much to the media . who has unsolved case and would like the broadcasting company to help with

Jonathan is married to the lover of his life Sarah who had a really hard life before .Lost her son , in circumstances like robbery

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 .It has good flow of event less grammar mistakes and entertaining book

Mystery novels have always been one of my utmost pleasures to read, simply because I like the thrill of wonder and curiosity as we read the book; which, in the end, gets to be satisfied with juicy answers and revelations. (I hope.) Connecting the dots is fun and I think when I have the chance, I'd like to give The Broadcast a try too.

Thanks for the helpful review! :lol2:

Thank you for your review. I read the sample and although the story itself was interesting I too found something about the writing to be a bit disjointed. It felt somewhat rushed. Having said that, the idea that the past could be observed and therefore questions answered is fascinating

The book is much of a movie thus makes critical thinking come around the mind of the reader . Wish to read it.
