Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. A potato chip book if you can get into it. The pages go by quickly but if you don't find yourself into the reality tv thing it may be hard for you to get through. The characters were only okay. I don't see myself rereading this one. Would not recommend. The concept was good, but not fully fleshed out. ( )Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Danny has been falsely accused of the murder of his wife and sent to Death Island, a wildly popular TV show where criminals try and survive. Danny's neighbor, Charlie, is the wife of a questionable pastor, and decides to start a "free Danny" campaign. While Danny fights for his life and a way off the island, Charlie fights to prove Danny's innocence. I had to go back and reread this book when I realized I never wrote the review (as I obtained a copy of this book free in exchange for a review)... mostly because I couldn't remember what it was about. And that pretty much is the general impression that I have of the story. It's good, but forgettable. It flowed well, and there was a good pace to the story. However, there's nothing that stands out from other movies, shows, or books featuring the "no rules, survival of the fittest" banishment of prisoners. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This was extremely disappointing. It isn't often I abandon a book, but this one was rejected about half way through.The plotline is a good one. The US prison system is fit to burst and a simple remedy is to dump lifers or those awaiting a death sentence on a remote island with very few provisions to fend for themselves. The whole thing is televised for the delictation of viewers. It is set in 2020, but the reader would never know, as it feels very dated. The characters are poorly drawn and I really couldn't care about their fate. The book is full of typos and poor grammar which compounded my dislike of it. I would call this a missed opportunity...a real shame. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. just finished this, Pretty quick read. overall, it was a pretty good story. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Disappointing. The idea of criminals placed on an island and then voted off is an interesting one but it was poorly executed. The characters weren't developed enough, so you didn't really care if Danny was guilty or not since you knew so little about him, his wife and the dynamics of their relationship. The editing was poor and their were lots of typos and bad punctuation. Would have probably worked better as a novella. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Wrongly convicted of the brutal murder of his wife, Danny Manning is exiled to Death Island, the site of America's favorite reality TV show. Death Island is Hell disguised as Paradise, a place where no one gets off alive unless the audience vote goes his way. Danny's day-to-day survival depends on a brilliant and hilarious psychopath who knows the ropes. But his ultimate fate lies in the hands of a clergyman's quirky wife, a smarmy TV host, and Death Island's fickle home viewers. If voted "off the island," he will be free, innocent or not. Can he stay alive that long? And will he ever discover the identity of the real murderer? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
