Death Watch
Death Watch | Stona Fitch
1 post | 2 read
Coe Vessel, son of a legendary adman, lands the much-anticipated campaign of artist-provocateur Watanabe's latest creation-a mysterious watch called Cassius Seven. The enigmatic Watanabe claims the watch can kill its wearer. Convinced it's a high-art hoax, Coe and his team of renegade creatives work furiously to land the campaign and persuade the world that the watch (rebranded as Death Watch) is the must-have accessory for end-time capitalism. Thanks to the team's inventive launch, Death Watch finds eager buyers among the brazenly cocky, thoroughly disillusioned, and silently suicidal. Death Watch soon becomes a cultural phenomenon, harbinger of a new nihilism, and a target for moral outrage-exactly what Watanabe envisioned. But his hoax turns horrific when the watches start going off, killing their wearers. Appalled, Coe and his team reverse course and work feverishly to alert the public. But can they stop the juggernaut they set in motion?

This just might be the worst book that I continued reading to the end. Someone invents a death watch, a watch that won‘t ever come off your wrist, and can go off at any time severing the arteries in your wrist. If that doesn‘t sound bad enough, the ending is horrible. The characters are interesting though, but not interesting enough to save this book.
