Changing events has consequences

I thought this was a really good book. Different take on things. What would you change to get the life you want? As for me I will change nothing.

Great narration. Black mirroresque

The narration was clear and entertaining.

The plot was reminiscent of the Netflix series Black Mirror crossed with “It’s A Wonderful Life”
I thought there would be more of a twist at the end but relieved of the happy ending.

Kept me listening

I found the story compelling and the narrator's voice engaging. I enjoyed it very much.

Cyber Fiction

Seven Days In VR, a relevant story for our
device driven world. The book is well narrated making it an enjoyable audible.

Don't let your past ruin your future !

This is my first audiobook on VR. Really enjoyed the scenario and could really feel the feelings and emotions of the main Character, Louie. I also liked the few references to quantum physics.
Recommend to escape yourself for a few hours !

Time travel with a touch of deception and revenge

What if you could go back in time and make changes; would your life be better, or go down burning in a downward spiral of despair? In “Seven Days”, a divorced father of two wakes each day to a humdrum life with no goals. His day job, working in an Italian restaurant, is going nowhere; so he supplements his income by offering his services as a ride share driver. His attitude and smart-ass demeanor are winning him no favors or high stars. With nothing to look forward to, he is offered the opportunity to be a product tester for a new virtual reality game. Will this once in a lifetime experience give him the boost and motivation to make his life better? With a fantastic storyline and great narration, it shouldn’t take you Seven Days to find out.
