The Egg

De: Andy Weir

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

"You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me."

A short story about the universe.

Thought provoking, incredibly fun

My first audible review. I had to let you all know, this is one incredible short story and well worth the pocket change it costs.

Be prepared to be blown away. Imagine the universe was built just for you.... Andy Weir does it again with this great story. I would imagine this book could change quite a few people for the better. Before I give too much away, I'll just say buy the book. It will leave you trying to figure out life and it's endless possibilities.

Short and sweet and come on I want more!

For an 8-minute short story - I was delighted. It was funny, compelling, and a breath of fresh air. Is it worth the price tag? In my opinion, no. If it was $1-2, I would buy it in a heartbeat. The current pricepoint doesn't really give you your moneys worth.

I have listened to it a couple times, and thoroughly enjoyed it. BUT come on, I want to see where the story goes next? Would be interesting to see how this could be adapted to a multi-book series.

Either way - if you can get it with credit or a discount - I highly recommend it. Should you spend an audible credit on it or pay full price? Unfortunately, no - PASS.

More Weir

Too little a taste. I want more Weir. Just finished The Martian. It was amazing.

Interesting!

After reading the Martian I had to check this out!! For a short story it really makes you think of your place in the universe. I really hope to see more from Andy Weir. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Reccomended “reading”!

One of the most clever audiobooks I've listened to, and the best quick-read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Saying which character is my favorite gives away the surprise of the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

It is one, quick, beautiful scene.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me both smile and think. I think this story will stay with me for a while.

Any additional comments?

I wish this book would make the list of required reading for high-school kids.

Whoa!

Interesting and engaging. Well worth the $2.09 I spent.

Only 8 minutes long but very good.

I've discovered a new author with Andy Weir and I like him very much. Loved his book, The Martian!!

Get It Now

Loved the Martian.
Regardless, literally:

Don't read anything about it.
Buy it and in doing, Support it.
Listen to it.
And most of all,
Enjoy the crap out of it!

I absolutely loved it, and there's a lot going on for an 8 minute book!

Still feelin the afterglow :)
