Radioland by M.E. Elzey
Review by Lyris

Radioland is a fictional book by M.E. Elzey, a story that takes you deep inside the world law, politics, religion, racism, culture and also may have you thinking deep about how personal opinions may affect others mentally or physically. As I read Radioland I started understanding how different careers may be borderline the same in a very weird connection, this book has a lot realistic situations. Here is a lawyer who has been in the industry for a good number of years; this lawyer has an assistant who is older than he is. Then things start to get really real as they realise a certain radio show is the reason for a lot of violence and disregard and they become victims of these criminal acts, so their main goal is to fight for justice against a really huge organisation that has access to the best lawyers money can buy. Radioland is a book a lot of readers will get attached to as they read because M.E. Elzey throws in a lot mystery, the finishing is one you wouldn’t expect which what keeps you glued till the end.

Radioland contains a good amount of vulgar language for instance the first I noticed was in Chapter 2, Page 23. Although I am a reader who does not mind that type of language in the book cause, I noticed that M.E. Elzey was using the vulgar language as a perfect elaboration of feelings of characters in different situations, with that said I believe Radioland is for a certain audience that can accept and understand that factor.

As someone who has read the book there is not much I hate about Radioland, apart from the fact that the build-up of this ficttional story is quite far-fetched in terms of mystery; it somehow felt boring as I started reading it. I think it is because of that factor that the dialogue seemed a bit mixed up to me as M.E. Elzey jumps from one part of the story to the other trying to make the reader get to a connection of each character’s story. The last thing I do not like is that some back-stories of certain characters felt unnecessary, for instance the brief backstory of a character who played a cop “Lenard Meade”. However, everything else was amazing Radiolnad has great and mature humour, it will also get almost every reader emotional it is not possible to read Radioland with a straight face, the way it keeps you glued is so amazing.

My belief is that he Author M.E. Elzey made this book for a mature audience, and for persons who are not sensitive to violence, vulgar language and a lot of 18 years and above people. For readers with a vivid imagination it is safe to say that the author’s skill of description is so good that some violent situation any be too graphic for the sensitive audience.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. That’s because I heavily recommend this book as it will leave you with a whole different perspective of certain aspects of life and how you view them, one of them being the power money may have and how the hunger for it may make a person not care about how it inflicts another person. If read with an open mind you will not be the same person after reading Radioland.
