The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of Feedback from the author for an honest review.Ethan James, Florida Bowman, and Jake Inala are all teenagers and all three are on a waiting list to receive an organ. Ethan and Florida both need a new kidney and Jake needs a new liver. They are waiting for that one call where the person on the other end of the line says "we have a kidney or liver for you".I was sucked in to the story from the very first chapter. Did you read the excerpt of the first chapter up above? If you didn't you might want to check it out now. Go on I know you want to. I will wait til you get back. D.L. writes in a very mysterious way where you believe what you are reading is real. Ethan has stolen a car from the mall and now he is driving at 120 and 140 mph down a very wet road. He is flying around curves like there is no tomorrow. He doesn't care if he crashes and dies I mean he believes that he is going to die anyway. If he kills himself while driving to fast or if he dies from kidney failure makes no difference to him. I was so taken with Ethan feeling so very sad for him with him not caring if he killed himself or not. I kept thinking what has driven a teenage to think in this way. Has he been abused? Was he in love with a girl who didn't love him back? Did he just lose one of his parents? Did one of them die? What would make anyone feel like this? And then at the end of the chapter I read "Game Over flashed over the tv screen".I felt somewhat better after reading "Game over" but it still kept me thinking about what someone in his shoes maybe be going through. I know there is no way that I could ever know what someone else is going through or how they feel because I have never or can never go through what they go through. You know that old saying "You can't know what someone else is going through unless you have walked a mile in their shoes"? I don't really believe that you can walk a mile in someone else's shoes even if you have experienced the same things.Well Ethan, Florida and Jake all get that one call that they have been waiting on for so long. They get their new organs and get a second chance to live their lives. Their organs were donated by a guy that works for the CIA, Dylan Black. Dylan is killed in a car crash while trying to hide three bombs that are set to explode. If the bombs explode they will spread diseases and death over the whole plant. He is being chased by the second in command of the man who made the bombs.Jake, Ethan and Florida are kidnapped by the man who made the bombs. He knows that their new organs came from the dead CIA agent that had infiltrated his company. He believes in memory of organs. He thinks that they can give him information that only the CIA agent, Dylan Black would know. He will do what ever is necessary to retain this information.It is all in the hands of Florida, Jake and Ethan to find these bombs to disarm them and save millions of lives. But how are they going to do this while being held prisoner? How are they going to get away so that they can save all these people? Where will they get the info to disarm the bombs? How will they find the bombs?Feedback was a phenomenal read! I really loved it. I believe that most or all of it could actually happen. Well I believe that the memory of organs could happen. I believe that diseases could be spread in the way that D.L. wrote in Feedback. I know that Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease so I am not sure if it could be spread in this way. But I have not went to any extreme of researching it either. I enjoy reading books like Feedback well because I am a conspiracy theorist. The CDC is out there so anything is very possible in my opinion.
