About this listen
Realm hopes that with each past he helps to recover, he'll be able to reclaim a small bit of his own in this spinoff story to Suzanne Young's best-selling duology, The Program and The Treatment.
Six months after the fall of The Program, ex-handler Michael Realm is struggling with his guilt. After all, he was instrumental in erasing the memories of several patients - including one he claimed to love. With a lifetime of regret stretched before him, Realm vows to set things right.
Along with his friend (yes, friend), James Murphy, Realm will track down those he's hurt in an attempt to give them back their lives - starting with Dallas Stone. He's not looking for forgiveness or redemption; he's not a hero. But helping others may be the only way to save himself.

The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

This was a separate book???
Loved the series, but when I downloaded this third and final book I expected it to be more than 10 short chapters. I listened to the entire book within two visits to the gym. Wish I would've looked at the details before downloading - this could've just been a prologue at the end of the last book. :-(

Good short stop in the story line.
This was a good continuation of the story. Unfortunately I ended up reading it out of order so it gave away pieces I didn't know but that's my own fault.
I appreciate the friendship development between the two main characters. The interactions flowed well and were believable in my opinion. If you are a fan of the series I'd recommend the book. It's not a read alone book though. Without the context of the series, the book would be meaningless.

So short!
It was a great extension to the program and the treatment but it was way too short! I was so confused why it ended. There is a lot left unsaid and it ends at a strange spot. It almost feels like only half a thought.

You could skip this
I don’t think this short story was worth $15 unless you think Realm is the best character in the whole series. The person reading the book sounds like a robot or a computer through out a lot of the book. It was hard to concentrate on the story at all because I was so bothered by the narration. I tried to slow down or speed up but neither helped the narrator. I would have liked this for $5 or free because it is a good little short story.

Revisiting Old Friends
As a huge fan of THE PROGRAM, I was so excited when this short book was announced. It is set after the 2nd book, THE TREATMENT and picks up right where that book left off.
One of my favorite things about this series is that the characters are well rounded. They are typical teens/young adults with flaws and missteps. The story was very satisfying and well worth the listen. It made me want to go back and revisit the series.
Kirby Heyborne does a good job with the narration after the first 10 minutes or so which is how long it takes for him to find his pacing. He also mispronounces the name Asa as Ah-za which bugged me, but for the most part he was good.
Sadly, the waiting begins again for the "prequel" of sorts THE REMEDY.
