A giant nothing burger.

Revisado: 05-25-22

Great performance from the reader. The rest is like listening to that one grandparent who's just lived way too long and done nothing exciting in their life; "Did I ever tell you about that time I made some toast and the burned part looked like a cross?" Yes, grandma!
Anyway, just read an encyclopedia or the backs of cereal boxes instead.

Bizarre and fascinating.

Revisado: 05-14-22

I don't know what to say about this book...
A bizarre tale of gay sex with angry gods and mushy headed aliens, interspersed with a frantic journey through time and space. I wouldn't say I didn't find it entertaining, but there's no satisfaction in any part of the tale. It feels like there should be about 50% more book while it's faffing about in the middle; some explanation or expose with regards to the characters we're introduced to there, but there's nothing there. Instead we're treated to about 5 lines of dialog that is supposed to provide some clarity 3 chapters from the end. The surreal, fever dream, meandering only serves to hinder the story as the pathetic, weak, whining, MC, bumbles his way frivolously through to his inevitable pathetic end. Is this book meant to tell us something about ourselves? I can't say. Are we meant to be in awe at the grandeur of the Universe? Not if it's inhabited with capricious, frivolous, silly, god-things like those we find in this story.
In the end all I can really say is that, if you disengage your rational mind and bob along down the tumultuous stream of this book you will be entertained, but ultimately left unfulfilled and wanting.
The narrator is excellent and the book is written technically well.

Interesting take on an old idea

Revisado: 09-22-21

This is a decent rehash of ideas like The Martian Chronicles and Red Planet. Nothing really new, but the writing is decent and the performance is excellent. Pick it up, it's worth a casual listen.

Don't skip this 5* review!

Revisado: 07-31-21

I love picking up unreviewed titles! You never know. The casual nature of the story, with a very likeable and interesting MC, subtlety hides a story with deep meaning and resonance. It's funny, action filled, intriguing and thought provoking. The writing is excellent as well, with brilliant narration! I look forward to more Jack Gripper novels.

it's...okay ... ish

Revisado: 07-16-21

so, the story is lacking at best. I mean, really obvious, over the top, and simple. the characters are vanilla and boring. nothing has any vibrancy. the writing is at least decent, so there's that, but there's not enough substance here to connect the reader to the story or the characters. I couldn't even tell you what the main character aliens even look like! shallow is how I would describe the entire content. get it if it's on sale or something, otherwise don't bother.

Very well written, just not much there...

Revisado: 05-05-21

This book is great! Easy listen/read, performance is excellent, but the story is...plain? It's like a perfect slice of white bread. It's good, but it's still white bread. Get it. Enjoy it. Hopefully something more interesting happens in the next one.

Really, really, good!

Revisado: 03-19-21

So good it doesn't seem like a 25 hour book. So good it feels like a normal story, instead of Litrpg (which, lets face it, is usually bad). Funny, engaging, interesting, whimsical. Can't wait for the next one!

Weird, but in a good way.

Revisado: 01-28-21

This isn't *exactly* a time travel book, so get that idea out of your head straight away and you'll enjoy this one a lot more! That being said, it IS one of the most F'ed up love stories I've ever read. All the characters are interesting and weird. The MC's have unique and diverse personalities. And the best part is, there are so many questions left when it ends!
Get this one. Just DO IT!
