Show Time by Phil HarveyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Would you be willing to participate in a reality TV show with six other people you did not know, and agree to spend seven months on an island with them where you would be tested physically, emotionally, and your very survival was in question? This is what Phil Harvey writes about in his fictional account called Show Time! The characters in this work are complex, flawed and all too real. For that I applaud his efforts. People will do almost anything for money, it seems, and the network is consumed with the show's ratings. I found myself questioning the humanity of the characters more and more as I read. The characters faced extreme conditions. Cold, hunger, loneliness, emotional term oil, and fear.
I found this book very disturbing, and I would not recommend it to anyone who does not wish to read material containing sexual content, violence or human depravity. The themes in this work are adult.
I received and Advance Reader Copy (ARC) of this digital book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
