About this listen

 Anton is an undercover operative from future Earth, who travels to an alien world whose culture has not progressed beyond the Middle Ages. Although in possession of far more advanced knowledge than the society around him, he is forbidden to interfere with the natural progress of history. His place is to observe rather than interfere - but can he remain aloof in the face of so much cruelty and injustice ...? Genetic Engineering Science Fiction Time Travel Fiction

I liked it a lot although found it took a while to get interesting

Very interesting

It has a very specific style; definitely of decent thoughtful quality but it just didn't work for me. Despite being serious I think it was also intended to be comic; tongue in cheek.It seemed over complicated + laboured. Being quite short I tried to stick it out to the end to at least find out how it concluded; but I lost interest + dozed off listening; + just can't face re listening! This says it all with this book for me; so much of a grind that I couldn't even cross the line!

A grind for me.
