Fracture Point, my third read/listen from author Jeff Altabef, the first one was the short story ENEMIES OF THE STATE and was so good I had to come back for more!. Altabef does a good job in getting you so caught up in the story that you get caught up in the runaway train that the story is. I really liked it and look forward to his next book. I don’t restrict myself to a particular genre. I’m a sucker for anything with memorable characters and a story that keeps me guessing and a plot that keeps me turning the page & this book did! Narrator Brian Rollin’s narration added greatly to the book’s enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
This one had everything I was looking for in a thriller. This is also the first time in hearing about and reading this author. Be careful with this one because once you start it you will not want to back out at any point because of the world it takes you with all the elements that await. It kinda though too the way the classes are split of the clicks in high school in small town America. Lots of rebelling so lots of pulling to your seat action. The characters keep you hostage in their world with what is happening with you following them. I think this was a beginning of a series with the author could build on with many more. Tom was the one I really looked the closest at with him I think carrying it the most. Really different read for me one that was enjoyed from beginning to end.
I enjoyed this book. There is a level of realism that made me think – this could really happen. I enjoyed the young characters, the action, and the overall story. I have book 2 on my wish list.
An Engrossing Story
Action, adventure and thrill, everything you want in a story. You get to see story from several different viewpoints; but it is done well keeping the reader engage without any confusion. We also get a glimpse into Steven Cabbot’s life the main character in the ‘Nephilim Thriller’ series.
I’ve read most of Mr. Altabef’s series’, he never disappoints!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Fracture Point is a young adult dystopian novel that takes place in a future America split by the classes. You’re either one of the privileged 1% or you’re part of the struggling working class. The story opens at a point where things have become so bad that the poor are beginning to fight back out of pure desperation. They are tired of living in destitution, with little or no health care, and at the whim of the uncaring rich.
The book is told in third-person, rotating between point-of-view characters throughout the story in a way that makes it easy to know when the point-of-view is changing (usually with a *** break or a change in chapters). The characters are well written and interesting. I found it easy to root for Tom
and to hate Warren. I also really liked the fact that minor characters like Bob didn’t feel two-dimensional and instead had more depth to them.
The story is fast-paced and filled with enough action to keep you reading until the very end, with plenty of nail-biter moments that will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. I started reading this in the car and nearly wished I hadn’t when I didn’t want to stop when we reached our destination. Of course, I eagerly picked it right back up when we started to head home.
Recommended to anyone looking for a fast-paced thriller filled with action.
