About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel, read by a returning cast.

We always thought the biggest threat to humanity would come from the outside. We were wrong.

As the human race picks up the pieces of destruction left behind, a new world order emerges. New alliances are formed. Old divisions are strengthened. And with a power struggle fuelled by the threat of mutually assured destruction, nothing is certain.

At a time when the world's nations should have been coming together, they have never been more divided. With the human race teetering on the brink of total war, Rose, Vincent and Eva must choose sides. But doing the right thing might mean making the ultimate sacrifice.

I was a little sceptical of having all those narrators but it worked great. There's large robot fighting, conventional warfare, an armed uprising, aliens, politics, a toy store, a weird Russian and aliens (again).

The ending fits the story. It covers the time line and introduces some very interesting new characters.

As alien stories go this is a must listen/read. As any story, this is a must!

Give all three a try, you shouldn't be disappointed with them.

A great finish!

Persevered because I wanted to know what happened, but felt very much like young adult fiction. Being bashed over the head with sociology and political concepts in a very worthy way did make me cringe at times. Was left feeling satisfied with the series though.

Like being bashed over the head with politics!

I have loved this trilogy, fantastic story telling, amazing delivery by narrators. I’ve listened to the books back to back in just a few days. Pure enjoyment, thank you Sylvain.

Loved this trilogy.

I loved the first two books of this series so I was eagerly awaiting the third and final instalment.

Whilst I found this book a good conclusion to the trilogy, I found the change of some of the characters voices a bit jarring. I liked the actor who portrayed rose in the first two books, and found it difficult to get used to the new actress (she was god though, just different to my ear!). The complete change to Eva (I accept there had to be a change as she was older) was a bit too far for me. She went from a highly accented (slightly annoying to be fair) character waking gods, to a annoying wired New York-esque drawl which varied through the book.

However, that being said. I still listened to it in two days so it wasn’t something that I couldn’t get past.

Great trilogy.

Great story, shame about the voices

It is the worst by far.

Major flaw, why does Eva have a New York accent? Terrible, and so irritating.

Nice to finish the trilogy, but a hard slog. Looking forward to moving on to something better now.

The accents of the Ekt are also hard to listen to. Feel this would maybe be a better read book than audible.

Overall ok.

Nice to finish - but not great
