Summary
"This is the natural order of things: for each decision we make, there is an infinite number of possible outcomes, only one of which comes into being. It is an infallible truth; our future is born, singular. But for you, that is no longer the case."
Jack Davies led an unremarkable life, serving fast food in a nondescript seaside town by day and playing computer games by night. Unremarkable that is, until Professor Jericho ordered a sausage and a cup of tea.
After discovering he has the ability to move through time and space, Jack embarks on a journey to repair a tear in the fabric of reality, with only his high school stalker, a television news crew, and a crossword puzzle for help.
With every moment of indecision, the problem gets more complex. And Jack never could make up his mind.

The Crystal Lie.
Absolutely stunning !!!
The author Debbie McGowan imagination is amazing and running wild on this one.
Writing about time and time travel is the hardest in science fiction because of so many reasons, like the grandfather paradox and many other paradoxes and it’s almost impossible to write about it without making mistakes.
There were books or movies which took me years to figure or hear about the mistake in them.
In this book the author does exactly that and a pretty good job about it, has she messed up, can’t tell yet.
But joy listening to the book
Makes it worth it.
Narration by Hannibal Hills is beautifully done for each of the characters in this creation.
Recommended !!!

A little confusing at times
There are three parallel stories going on at once in this book, but the narrator certainly did help differentiate the characters. Overall quite average in my opinion, though I wouldn't say no to listening to more of Debbie McGowan's books.

It was going to be a long night.
Jack missed his dead grandmother, the on!y one in the family who hadn't ignored him. He hated his job in a tatty little fish and chip shop. It was raining again. There was nowhere else to go. A man came into the shop, struggling against the wind, and ordered tea and a sausage before leaving. An explosion of light - and Jack was dead.
Except he wasn't. Well, yes he was, but ...
With simple sentences, the author conjures up not just the bleakness of Jack's inner being but of the location, as well, an ability which continues throughout the whole book. This is a delicious, almost farce-like story of Jack's several journeys through time and dimensions to repair a rift and restore his world, together with the mysterious Professor Jericho, a chap called Brian, and a three man film crew headed by a girl he'd once known at school now a reporter, named Kelsey. From confusion and terror, through repetition and chaos, Jack struggles to understand and restore things to a proper order. Quite delicious.
This reader was charmed and confused. But that didn't matter. Is the science correct? Who cares? It was a really fun story, and well read by English accented Hanniba! Hills. Great character voices, well paced, and delivered with nicely intoned, enthusiastic expression.
Not having read anything by author Debbie McGowan previously, I had no idea what to expect. Now I will actively seek out more books by her. My thanks to the rights holder of And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, who, at my request via Audiobook Boom, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. It was great fun, and, somehow, very English. Especially the rain!

Good story that got a little muddled
I enjoyed this book very much. The narration was VERY well done. The main character was interesting. My only quibble is that the story got a bit "timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly" - for the last 1/4 of the book or so I gave up trying to keep track of it and just went with the flow. I will admit that I was listening to listen in fits and starts (irregular commuting) and perhaps it would have made more sense if I didn't have gaps in between listening.
As said, narration was excellent - a real pleasure to listen to.
I received this book for free from audiobookboom.

Middle of the pack
I found myself really enjoying this book about half the time and then the other half I just found myself wishing it had something a little bit more to offer. I really like the time travel genre and try to listen to as many as I possibly can. One thing I liked was the witty humour of the characters in this one but I found it difficult for me to root for them as I do with many main characters. The performance was very well done and it was easy enough to tell characters apart by the voices the performer gave to them. There was subtle tone and pacing changes which did add something to the story. I think maybe I had very high expectations for this one and just wanted more from it. There is another title by this author that I’m interested in so I think I will still give that one a try. I received a free copy of this audiobook from audiobook boom. This in no way affected my opinion of this book

good narration, OK story
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I struggled a bit to get into this book. For a parralel universe premise, I felt they were too similar and it kind of felt repetative. The narration is what got me through the book. His lively style and unique voices are what kept me interested in the story. All in all, it wasn't horrible but it could have been better.

Narration helped.
The book concerns time travel, parallel universes and humans neglect to nature. The characters were enjoyable, but the plot may be hard for some to follow. Being able to follow the plot didn't bother me, but I found it a little boring and the message seems to be a little forced into the story. The story takes place in basically the same 3 areas and since they are dealing with parallel universes, repeats itself a bit. The narration was good. The voices were unique enough to tell the characters apart from one another and was loud and clear and easy to understand.
