Good book

I liked the book but the guy reading it just didn't fit. He made it really hard to get through, they should have gotten someone else to perform it.

Please read reviews on the narrator

I wanted to like this book, the story is intriguing and with a different narrator I am sure I would have loved it. I hate to give poor reviews, as these are the creative works of which their creators are proud, but the narration is to the point that I just cannot listen any longer. It sounds like the automated robots of early sci-fi movies. Honestly, I believe just feeding the script through Siri would have produced a better narrating effect. At least with Siri you can change her accents.

I got through the first of the three books but I just can’t take the narrator. The story has promise so it is disappointing to me to give a poor review, as I would have liked to at least finish the book, but alas I just cannot complete the book and will have to return it.

Great until the very end

The story is a solid survivalistic scenario.
The narration was fairly bland but listenable.
However the ending and I literally mean the last paragraph demolished everything and is quite insulting to those of faith in my opinion, why would the writer do this?
Cannot recommend...

Unique in many ways

Usually any book with time travel as the basis for the entire plot is more than enough to get my interest. Here add in everything you ever wanted to know about stone age man, a little sex, some big fight scenes with extinct predators, and a study in building a working society from scratch. What's not to like?

My only complaint might be it is almost too educational in some ways. I really didn't need to know all that much about making a fire.

Loved the narration. There were dozens of characters coming and going through the three books contained in this set yet I always knew who was talking.

good story, slightly bland narration

the book has good progression, consistent character development, solid story arcs. the only real issue is that the narrator, while good with different voices, and not flat, does need a little more practice with emotional and tonal inflection to make the characters feelings pop.
