The Traitors

Product Information

The straight-forward approach. In this book, there isn't any slow-paced story-telling - the approach is straight to the point and the author appeared to not have a liking in making long-winded, excruciatingly intricately detailed paragraphs that go on and on about a certain scenario that the reader gets all a. bored or b. muddled-up. So basically, the fast-paced action gets the story going in a more animated way. So you don't have to worry about falling asleep if slow, nostalgic atmospheres of story-telling (take for instance The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern) isn't your thing. I did feel it was a bit obvious about the identity of the bandage boy and who the traitor actually was but it didn't really detract from the story. Other things like echo did surprise me. It was a fast paced book that always had something happening and it kept you guessing what was coming next. This novel held many different, unique and interesting characters. They were all well-captured and really held my interest throughout the book. There were a few stereotypical types but it worked within the story because it wasn’t a stereotypical story. It needed those characters we know to look for to help make it appear more realistic. After all, what’s a prison without a few characters who are continuously trying to escape? Or the one that manages to get everything for everyone? What wasn’t stereotypical, were the personalities attached to the stereotypes. Everyone had their own thoughts, their own way of moving and even when they were a mass of characters; it was good to have a feel for each individual in the room. It was the characters who bled the story, without them, it wouldn’t have been as exciting or interesting, and I have a feeling that these characters will be wholly identifiable to younger audiences as well.

Tom said his skillset as a magician would get him far in the game, but his words might fall on deaf ears considering not one person he’s accused has actually been a traitor. And while we're at it, the characters could have used a lot more depth. Oh, and SO MANY things didn't make sense, add up, and/or weren't explained. AND THERE ISN'T EVEN A SEQUEL!The main character in this book is Adam and he is not a nice character because he betrayed his best friend and kissed his girlfriend.

The radio message could have been a fluke, even the letter could be taken for a joke, but a giant zeppelin on an abandoned beach can not be ignored. When a stupid mistake, a thoughtless act breaks apart a friendship, the traitor must be punished, and the only way for a traitor to learn their lesson is imprisonment on the Dial.

Frankly, I loved the idea so much, I was willing to overlook the 2D characters and the unexplained stuff, but I just can't get over the ending. It was the last straw. When Adam stays with Jessica in the end, it seemed rather pointless. I know the Commandant told him that no-one should be left behind and all, but she should've just went with him. You have betrayed people but being left in no-time for presumably billions of years where getting food away from earth is quite hard, you would die sooner or later. The Kanye song usage feels like a deep bad omen. He’s in a relationship with Alex from The Traitors Adam goes out to the beach for a walk and a group of people, he tries to run but someone hit on his head and he becomes unconscious. I also loved the idea of the Dial: that traitors, of any kind and degree, are shipped off to a prison (the Dial) located in "no-time", where they serve a sentence of a few hundred years to teach them a lesson in loyalty. "No-time" is a place in which several hundred years are only about a week or so by Earth measures, so the traitors aren't severely missed, but are still harshly punished.

Adam Wilson betrayed his best friend Danny. Not only did he kiss Danny’s girlfriend but when Danny finds out and violently loses his temper resulting in his expulsion, Adam makes no attempt to defend him to the teachers.

After sometimes when he wakes up he finds himself in an old 90s plane and found that he was being taken to the DIAL. Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuthWhen the beam of light abruptly winked off, the vortex collapsed, shrinking to a tiny orange dot before disappearing completely, leaving the sky a flat pond of midnight. But the ending is hilarious, in a sort of way. The beginnning of the book (spoiler) mentions that the food rations are being reduced due to the fact that the transportation mode is apparently, unavailable. And at the ending, the two characters expect that they can live forever in eternity in the Dial without any means of transportation that can get food for them? Puhlease. A bit too much of naivete for me. Adam here has betrayed his best friend Danny. And because of that, he was captured to the Dial, a no-time place through a warphole. Sentenced to imprisonment in the Dial for 274 years, Adam has all the time in the world to repent. Jessica's character gives me chest pains! As the soppy person I am reading this book o thought there was going to be a love interest for Adam to gallantly save but there was just a traitor and a person who wasted his own time! It pains me to think that Adam may never get out after him being INNOCENT- or so we think! What if he did something massive!! Did we ever find out what Luca did to get into the Dial and Caiman got to get out after being a collaborator but ADAM didn't!! The highlight for me has got to be the numerous twists and surprises unveiled in the second half of the book. They were real good ones, I tell you. Other than that, I found "The Traitors" slightly below average, because the whole story didn't seem 'practical' in its own sense. It was like all the bits and pieces didn't add up to be convincing enough for me. I also felt detached from the main character, Adam, and that was a shame. Thank goodness it's a stand-alone though, because I can't imagine having this premise to have a decent sequel.
