Soooo funny!

I might have enjoyed this sequel even more than the first book. It was hard not to laugh out loud or grin like a crazy person while I listened to this in public spaces.

Daniels’ did the voices a little different in this one vs the first book. It was still a great narration, but it took a little time to get used to. It doesn’t help that I had listened to the first book several times and had some preconceptions about how the characters sound, so that’s on me.

Great from start to finish

This book was great. It has an impressive amount of both depth and breadth on the subject of really evaluating your intentions, goals, etc. It was full of useful ideas and insights from start to finish.

I have to admit that when I read the summary of this book and saw that amnesia was going to be part of the plot I groaned a little. I always hate that as a plot device, but this book totally did it right. Normally it is a way to get around bad writing, but this book used it as a tool make the whole story just so beautiful.

This book has everything I love about sci-fi. I won’t go into the details. I’ll just say I laughed a lot, teared up a time or two, and enjoyed every bit of it.

Oh, and the narration was fantastic! But, I knew that would be the case without even listening to it. I’m a big fan of Ray Porter.

A pleasant surprise

Revisado: 10-31-20

I was hoping that this series would continue, but didn’t expect it after the nice tidy way the series went after book 3. I was so happy to discover that this book existed.

Overall I enjoyed it a lot. It was not my favorite of the series but I’ll certainly listen to it a few more times, just like I had with the others.

Not quite what I expected.

Revisado: 07-13-18

There is a lot I liked about this book. MacNicol really reveals a lot about her thoughts/worries about things we all struggle with but don’t often discuss. I really appreciated some of the personal moments that she shared.
However, there are also a lot of times that the book would lose my attention. I sometimes had a hard time following the order of events as the book isn’t quite chronological. Also, there are times when she would go into great detail about things and I don’t quite know why. It feels like there is a lot of filler, but maybe I just missed the bigger picture.
Overall, I found it interesting. It is a good story about a woman figuring out what she really wants in life. I’m just not convinced that she has it all worked out yet. I’d like to hear an update later in her life.

I should also add that the narration was great. The whole audiobook was delivered like a casual conversation with just the right emotional inflection.

Liked this book far more than I had realized.

I am a big fan of the jumper series. I like how how much depth there is in the teleporting characters and the lives they lead. The science behind it is a good geeky part of it too. I had read a few reviews about this book being overall good, but a little slow and boring at times. When I first listened to this book I really liked it, but kinda agreed with others that it could be a little heavy on the little details. It is certainly a good story for a space geek.

But you know what? A few times now I have found myself going back through my now pretty large Audible library and listening to it again. There is just so much I appreciate about it. I love all the little details. The slow bits just make me like the "science" of it even more. What is really fun is that the only syfi element of it is the teleporting. All the rest is the world we live in, more or less. But still, things get pretty wild in this story.

I might even say it is my favorite book in the series. But it is a tough call to make, they are just all so awesome. I sure hope there is a sequel. The series could really get crazy from here on.
