A "Cli-fi" tale
Revisado: 09-27-21
A science fiction story exploring the aftermath of a ridiculously huge and hi-tech de-pollution scheme gone wrong. I enjoyed the cause and effect, and the workarounds employed by our heroes; although I think the whole idea is quite a bit too big, and the story line very silly as a result.
The character sketches are quite good, I think, and they all seem very human. The plot involves a lot of social drama that keeps the reader involved, even if the technical what-ifs don't interest you.
As always, Jenny Myers does a great job amplifying the characters' personalities and delivering a spot-on narration.

A modern fantasy adventure
Revisado: 06-15-21
**Disclaimer -- I listened to the story largely because of the narrator!**
I thought Jenny Myers did a wonderfully expressive job in giving each of the characters their own inflection, even altering the tone of the main character's voice to suit the plot of the story. And since the setting is in London initially, Jenny's use of a slight cockney accent is perfect for setting the atmosphere. Though, I did have to turn the narration speed up 20%.
I didn't enjoy the story itself as much as I'd hoped, but I may be biased since I don't usually go for a lot of modern fantasy. I found it to be rather dark and depressing, leaving me feeling gloomy after a chapter or two. I do like a bit of realism, so I was glad that the author didn't just let a nine-year-old frolic unscathed through a wild countryside with nary a thought to his well-being; however, I really wish the little boy had more friends to share the adventure with, and didn't develop quite so strong a street-wise and cynical outlook. I found the ending to be disappointing, certainly not a happily-ever-after, with one or two loose ends still hanging and with the plot poised to lead straight into a sequel.
It's a story about a child, but it does not strike me as a children's story. I always find that sort of premise a bit confusing.
