Critic reviews

"An exceptionally well-organize debut, with thoughtful ideas, a controlled plot, and characters-particularly the young protagonist-portrayed with insight and compassion." ( Kirkus)

"Gould's warm, delightful, and compulsively readable novel dispalys assured storytelling skill." ( Publishers Weekly)

Brilliant!

One of the freshest Sci-Fi stories to come out the last few decades. It is an original concept that kept me guessing throughout the story. One of the best in my collection now.

Hope Mr. Gould writes some more.

easy entertaining listen

listened to entire book in one day while driving and doing household repairs.
It wasn't especially complex or gripping butkept me entertained

Well worth the listen.

loved this book from when I was younger and was psyched when they said they were making a movie out of it years later. they completely butchered the book by changing 90% of the story. Now that I've went through the story again 16 years after the first time reading it I'm once again angry at how they totally screwed up a fun and clever story.

Very Good Book, Great Performance

I really like the book. There are a few problems with it. Not really a happy story, but still good. The person reading it did a fantastic job.

Soooooo much better than that crap movie they made

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely. Its got some heavy duty emotional stuff in there. It has a love story for someone looking for that. Its got action and adventure. Its just a fun book.

Any additional comments?

The movie they made of this book is a travesty. I will say this though, in the follow up books in the series when the focus changes to someone else's perspective. Well all I will say is I liked Davy's storyline much more. But.....I did enjoy the rest of the story and conclusions of it.
