Disapointing

Bad reading ruins what might have been a better listen.


this was disappointing - or maybe I've been mis-led by earlier outstanding narrators.

Great story but flat narration

Loved the story and the twist at the end. But the narrator was oh so flat. Clear and understandable but sounded like someone just reading a script with no emotion. It didn’t detract from the book and I will be getting the next in the series.

Let down by narrator

The story is slow to start and I was tempted a few times to give up as the narration was terrible. It would have had more feeling and passion if Siri had recorded the book. There were even 2 mistakes not re-recorded. Emphasis in the wrong place, boringly read, and overall just a very bad reader. I persevered and the story wasn’t bad in the end. I will try the next book in the series but only because its not the same narrator.

Talk about originality

interesting story quite original but seemingly made for teenagers,or those of us who still think we are .Don't expect too much about time travelling ,it's not very scientific vast jumps into the future the epilogue was good. quite light reading but I liked it , it was different

Great story / idea

Great story / idea; narration is poor, you can listen to it however the narrator makes it really hard work stopping in the middle of a sentence adding the last word onto the next sentence that sort of thing, the narrator can’t have been happy with how it sounds they are that obvious you would have expected the author would have told him to do it again……… however good story and idea

Really enjoyable and though provoking story

A really enjoyable and interesting story. Easy listening - I got used to the narrator and ran with it!
A bit teenagy but I can still enjoy that genre, even though I’m well past that stage!
Looking forward to the next book.

Entertaining story - and the narration is fine

Don't be discouraged by the negative comments about the narration. Sure, there are problems, and for this blame whoever it was who edited the recording. The repeated sentence near the beginning has been highlighted. For some reason Chapter 8 ends with the words 'End of Chapter 7' and in the next breath 'Chapter 9'. There is a further repeated sentence towards the end (without the 'Tut' by the narrator). This shouldn't put you off, because this is a decent and entertaining story and reasonably well read.

If I am to criticise the story, the ending isn't hugely satisfactory. No major spoilers here, but it just seemed that the author didn't want to settle for the usual happy ending with all loose ends tied up and decided to concentrate on just one of the characters who made a silly decision and forget about the rest. That was a shame, because Jason Ayres made a good effort in getting the reader to care about the various protagonists - so it was frustrating to leave us largely hanging about how things eventually turned out for them.

If you enjoy time travel books (and I do, even if the science is abject nonsense and the plot is full of illogical assumptions), then give this a go.
