    About this audiobook

    On a small Caribbean island a woman joins the newest reality TV show: 24/7. For Dana Kirsten, winning the $2 million prize could mean saving her child's life. But while the country is watching her every move, Dana is entering a fight for her own life - and a conflict that will shake the world...

    Vassa Island has been rigged with remote control cameras, a surveillance satellite system, and the most powerful television transmitter ever created. And that's not all. For a small fee, anyone with a computer can access any of the 638 cameras live, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week - and vote as twelve carefully chosen contestants struggle with each other and the island. But only fifteen minutes into the first live broadcast, the show's host and crew die a ghastly death. The shell-shocked contestants hear a voice echoing from hidden speakers: "I am Control, and this has just become the ultimate reality show."

    Suddenly the voice is hurtling contestants through a maze of traps and macabre, individually designed puzzles. And when the worldwide audience votes one person off the island, it isn't just a loss... it's death.

    With every day unveiling a new terror, and as one man from the outside races to crack the Vassa mystery, the only real way to win 24/7 is to find Control. And stop him. But Control has plans beyond the desert island, spinning a dark plot that could hold the entire world hostage in a grip of death.

    I became interested in the Forex markets in 2002 after attending a stock trading meeting at a private residence. One guy announced that he had made a killing by trading the Yen against the US dollar. Who knew that the individual on the street could even trade currencies? Up until then, it was only the banks or wealthy individuals with access to this type of trading. A whole new industry was born. At first there weren't many reputable brokers around, their platforms were unreliable, spreads were huge and the internet was dial up. Forums popped up and 'trading gurus' appeared.  There was money to be made by those who were were smart at the time, either by straddling the news releases or exploiting the carry trade. But brokers also got smarter and either shut these advantages down or created trading conditions that made it difficult to profit from. My problem was, I listened to too many so called 'gurus' and got caught up in all the hype. Always thinking they were smarter than me as their systems were complex, and therefore must be better than anything I could come up with. So for a few years, I bounced around different systems, blowing accounts and giving back profits I had managed to make. There were good times and bad times, but I never gave up. I soon realized that some of the 'gurus' were the real deal, and started to pay attention to them to see what they had to offer. I became smarter with my money management, got out of the day trading habit and generally simplified my trading methods so they were easy to implement and explain. I have also dabbled with building my own trading robots with mixed success and use them at times to assist me with my trading. I now make a living from trading Forex, mainly off the 4hr or Daily charts. My systems are simple and profitable overall. I love trading Forex and I see it as having a huge potential to make some serious income. It is not as easy as some would make you believe, but if you keep it simple, control your money management, and be consistent, then there is no reason that you too shouldn't succeed in the world of Forex trading. Patience, courage and discipline.....

      This book is a bit of silly escapism, I knew from reading the blurb that it was going to be far fetched. Its a bit like a desert island verison of Big Brother, things go wrong and instead of the contestants being voted off the show and going home they are killed. The island is infected with a virus and the contestants that get voted off dont get the antidote. Book moves at a fast pace and makes you question of far things on reality TV will eventually go.

      24/7 was a pretty good book that is now probably past its time. It was released at a time when reality tv was really taking off and proved to be a social commentary on the addictiveness of Americans on that genre. The book centers around a group of contestants on a game show taking place on an island. The contestants are promised that their biggest fears will be exploited with the whole world being able to watch them 24/7. Viewers from home then vote to see who has to leave. However, there become problems when the losing contestants don't simply leave the island; they die. This had a "Saw" feel to it in that players had to complete challenges in order to have a better chance of living and in fact one example was of a narcissistic woman who had choice of whether or not to lose her hand. The love interest was at times predictable, but Brown was able to keep it fresh by created twists with the male. The ending seemed weak and rushed and predictable and had a twist that I didn't see coming but that still disappointed me as it has been used soooo many times before. Overall, worth the read if your laying about. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.

      hmmmm. why would i give a coveted 4.5 starts to a horror/suspense novel that's based on a frequently-used premise, and written with average literary skill? because, the premise that starts out hackneyed, spins out of control into something pretty horrific. the parable is all the more frightening because it is meaningful for the era we're in, one where nothing is sacred, and everything is available for our viewing pleasure. could Brown's make-believe reality show ever actually happen? there's a good chance it could. it's nothing but prescient that this book was written before modern-day reality shows really got out of hand. in this novel, a reality show that promises a million dollars + your biggest wish, brings a motley group of people together on an island. boring? played? think again. we have the typical fast relationships formed -- for better or for worse -- but we also have espionage, double-agents, apocalypse, and artificial intelligence as God.to say any more would be to introduce spoilers. check this one out, if you're into modern-day Lord of the Flies tales, or dystopic fiction. i read this one twice.
