Dying for good T.V.

The popular reality T.V.show has been running for 49 airings. This is the fiftieth anniversary edition and there had been speculation that it might be the last: it was amazing that it had survived for so long. Isolated on an island, the group of contestants have to survive hardship and boredom and being voted out in the attempt to be last man standing to win the million dollar prize. With the contest now behind him, but the winner not yet known,.Jason is mentally still on that island, revising what happened and, especially, how did Billy die? They said it was suicide, but was it? Billy had been his friend.

This is a book which sucks in the reader and holds them tight. Written partially in the first person, sometimes as texts between former contestants, even the changing writing styles keep the reader's attention. Simply written in an everyday speaking style, but very effective. The details of the reality show and characters taking part are slowly unfilled as Jason tries to untangle the truth of what happened as he battles with his own fears and perceptions. This book is a joy to hear, especially read as it is, by the talented Alan Carlson, who please t and we'll modu!afterlife further brings Jason to !ife. A fine performance

I was very fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of Cut Reality, by the rights holder, following my request via Audiobook Boom. Thank you so much. I had been attracted by the brief synopsis but the book far surpassed my expectations. Apparently, this is a first novel, so I look forward to many more to come.
A book I happily recommend to anyone with an interest in reality T.V., mystery stories and internal doubts of the individual in a time of stress. Or anyone, really. It is a surprising, yet easy to enjoy, story.
