I have read this book before, and I give it the same overall rating. It is a tremendous story well worth everybody’s time being the first book. It is focused in sharp as the blades displayed within his story of damaged people trying to be better of innocence trying to escape death, tyranny, and corporatism. Addressing the darker side of human nature, without putting it under a microscope. this is a tremendous story, and I highly recommend it.

This was an excellent bit of Christian fiction. This book is for anyone who enjoys a good story with interesting well thought out characters, Interesting story, who enjoy action and faith in their stories. If someone cannot overlook a story, heavily inspired by belief and faith in this book may not be for them. this is one of the few books, where the time traveling aspect of the story truly works as in the story bounces around the timeline. it seems obvious that many aspects explored in the story are not only well thought out but very well. Understood, and researched. One criticism I could levy against it is that it is unclear how the story will proceed. The book is called record of Oliver. and his story clearly isn’t finished. Aside from that the audio performance was fantastic. Both male and female voices were narrated quite well, and the accents were not only decent, but worry, highlight of the narration. oh, now, back to the story as a believer myself, I always ponder how much of my story to base on my faith. My highest praise I will give the story is that it is one of the best examples of a fantasy style story that delves heavily into Christianity add succeed as a faith story, and as a story separate from that. Mr. McCoppin may become the next, Ted Dekker in the literary world if his books are given an appropriate amount of attention, and I mean that sincerely compliment. in essence, buy the book.

This was an interesting tale that I was requested to review, it made for an interesting albeit underwhelming read. I found myself enjoying the Irish narration without which I may have had trouble finishing the listen in a timely manner. The bit about the author at the end really cleared up some of the questions pulling at the back of my head, Sonny is a story teller not strictly a novelist and that isn’t a mark against this story I found myself imagining this as a campfire story told dramatically or as an old 70s-80s cheesy meandering fantasy film and I do feel it’s simplicity would have better justice done in those forms.
Overall I appreciate what the author was going for and my favorite aspects of the characters and the story was that the main character was a writer which is not common and sorely needed in more stories; and that the main antagonist was a less conventional creature. I do recommend this book but only passively as it isn’t as gripping as some.

First off, the writing was solid from beginning to end only lagging in one spot perhaps. The performance was different but perfect for the type of story that the writer wanted to tell. This wonderful short book is not going to break any records or even new ground, but It was an enjoyable listen from beginning to end short and sweet.

The language used reminded me of the writing concepts of firefly by Joss Weaden in the vets they used older language in creative ways to describe things not found in the past which made for a fun experience.

This story is something special especially in a time where so many stories take themselves so seriously, it reads much less like a 3rd or 1st person complicated narrative and more like an old friend telling you stories from his youth despite having told you before.

Strong recommendation for those who want something different and nostalgic at the same time.
