This is like Purge, but on a much smaller level. In this story, you have to receive a letter from the government giving you permission to kill one person. I think 13 people a year get the letter.
This idea was fresh and crisp, and I believe I enjoyed reading about the history of past killings than I did keeping up with the main characters.
Just imagine immunity to kill one person.
I think I could get pretty creative

What if 13 lives could be traded for virtually unlimited positive changes in the nation?
13 people per month. Justifiable? The authors sure have me convinced that it is!
BONUS: 13 citizens are granted the right to commit murder with no legal consequences!
I'd be a much nicer person in my day to day life if I knew that every move I made could be a potential death sentence. The smart-assery would come to a halt, that's for sure!

This was a delightfully fun read. I have never been a fan of The Purge and random violence within. With Postal, there is a reason for each kill. I think everyone has been wronged in some monumental way at least once in their life and have thought "if only I could". Most of us would never act upon these feelings but we guiltily indulge now and then in the fantasy. I liked the little Easter Egg also. Again - it was just a fun read and I enjoyed it.
