Atomic Number Sixty Sixty Minute Reads Book 1 edition by Dave Johnston Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Atomic Number Sixty by Dave Johnston is an interesting, quirky little novel with an interesting premise. The reader should be able to finish the book in one hour ... or so. Each of the sixty chapters begins with a time stamp in the upper right, just to keep you motivated, of course. In fact, the time stamp is not for you; it is for Holly. It marks the last hour of her life and she asks the all-important question that many of us have asked ourselves, mostly in some sort of party game atmosphere. What would you do or think about or feel if you knew you had only one more hour to live? Or one more year, or one more day. There are lots of variations on “the game.” And this game is more vital than the other party games Holly suggests, Scrabble or Snakes and Ladders, played naked.
There is a lot of death in this short read. Holly’s brother died while she and he were still young. The horse in the barn died. Leo’s friend Dimitri died. William the janitor died. And the threat of the imminent death of Leo, Holly, and anyone in City Hall are the cocoon holding the novel together for its short life.
What can the reader expect? A fast read. A surprise ending. And the comfortable knowledge that the reader will be able to get through it and be surprised in a period of time under two hours, for sure. Maybe you will not be able to get through it in one hour. It is only polite to say hi to the kids when they come through the door while you are reading this. There might be snack preparation time or a bathroom break.
But for completion addicts, this is an easy one to add to your “done” list or strike off your “to do” list.
Atomic Number Sixty is fast paced with an ingenious and thrilling narrative. Designed to be read within 60 minutes, the story reads in a real time manner creating a truly unique experience for the reader. The writing is fluid and the timeline is paced beautifully. The protagonist is strong and credible. The author has managed to create a high-speed read with hints of humor, sorrow and anger.
I have a feeling this series could end up being a heavy hitter. I am very excited to see where the author takes this one and looking forward to the next book!
I enjoyed this unique little story, everything happens with a bomb counting down sixty minutes. You may think what can you possibly write about in that time? Dave Johnston manages to fit in a lot, a discussion with the terrorist to find out why he is carrying out his act of terror, a blind date and an introduction to Holly. We get to find out about her life, what makes her tick and why she is currently in this sticky situation. So yeah, Dave manages to cram a lot in.
As the story plays out you are being constantly reminded how much time is left before the bomb goes boom and that does make for some very tense reading. Seeing as the subject matter is about an act of terror, the dialogue is very political at times, the author is not afraid to get his point of view across. I think this is a very clever and brave book and I'll be checking out book 2 to see where the story continues.
“What would you do if you only had an hour to live?” Holly Holloway will take you on an electrifying journey through her last hour of life. While strapped to a ticking time bomb, in a darkened room, Holly tells a cryptic tale of terror and uncertainty.
Set in real time, Automic Number Sixty has sixty chapters. Each chapter takes the reader one minute, giving a genuine account of the last hour of Holly’s life. I have never seen a concept quite like the one Dave Johnston has created. It is thrilling and face paced, making it impossible to put down. Each chapter flies by creating a realm of mystery and panic.
While the plot didn’t intrigue me at first, I’ll say that I was blown away by Automic Number Sixty. The more I read, the more invested I became. There were moments of shock, humor and angst. I believe that this series could really take off and I look forward to reading the next installment.
I would love a bit more depth to the characters in the coming books. However, for the first book, Automic Number Sixty did exactly what I believe it was intended to do stun the reader and entice them to beg for more of this series .
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was really interested in Dave Johnston’s concept of writing a book consisting of sixty chapters which takes sixty minutes to read. I have to say this works brilliantly and is great if your looking for a quick read to pass away a journey or a lunch break.
Atomic Number Sixty tells the story of twenty-five year old Holly Holloway who has been taken hostage and has exactly sixty minutes until the bomb she is attached to detonates.
This is a super fast-paced thriller, the short chapters and the minutes at the head of each chapter add to the frantic pace of the book. I really liked the way this book is constructed. I was hooked from the very first chapter. Don‘t be deceived by the length of Atomic Number Sixty…Dave has managed to pack a lot in, creating a well-rounded story.
Holly is a sassy, funny, strong young woman and I warmed to her and her family immediately. Dave has managed to get you fully involved with the characters in a short space of time. He has interspersed the story with Holly reflecting on her past giving a real sense of who she is. Written in first person narrative the reader is privy to Holly’s sarcastic sense of humour and her thoughts on life in general.
‘I wondered who was crazier. The brainwashed. Or the worms whispering in their ears, leading them on such a destructive path.’
The tension is built up brilliantly and the ending took me totally by surprise. I found myself devouring this book to find out if Holly would survive.
Definitely check Atomic Number Sixty out especially if you are wanting a quick read. This is a great debut and I look forward to reading more by Dave in this series.
Couldn't put it down! A great quick read, thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was interesting. The main character worked and I enjoyed reading it all of the way to the end. The author has a great imagination.
