Divided We Fall Trilogy: Book 1: Divided We Fall (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Amazing! And the audio was outstanding. The addition of the news feeds was haunting. Unfortunately, they sounded real and the stances of the various media outlets sounded way too much like actual media today. This makes this fictional story scary to me. The country is divided and the polarization of the media, the influence media has on shaping opinion, is enough to put me on guard and ask, "What if....." This is in many ways an excellent book...though I suppose the 5 star rating may have given you an idea I might think something like that.This book is very character driven while also having an intense, fast moving yet very plausible plot. Now I know there are going to be people who want to go on about how the book's style is wanting and I'll admit this isn't a work that shoots for "literary depth" at least in some ways. It's also guilty of using some minor stereotyping. It's pictures of some of the players aren't really spot on.But they are close enough for the story to be believable. Some of "us" will probably be annoyed at the way certain characters are presented of portrayed. That said they are not far enough off for me to call the writer on it. He has in most cases simply amplified what's there.The events in this book could happen. Not only could they happen it's not that unlikely. The events here are not far fetched at all.Of course the novel also ends in a way and in a place that will make you want to give the writer a piece of your mind about the inhumanity of cliffhangers.I hate cliffhangers.The next book is slated to be out next year...I'm waiting.I like this one. I recommend this one.
