Point B

A Teleportation Love Story

By: Drew Magary

Narrated by: Rebecca Soler

Length: 15 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

When the corporate monolith PortSys brought porting to the masses, CEO Emilia Kirsch and her son, Jason, accomplished what every other start-up company had failed to deliver.

They really did change the world. They reversed climate change. They created a multitrillion-dollar industry out of thin air, curing economic woes across the globe. They made it so that anyone could be anywhere simply by touching a screen...including the man who murdered Sarah Huff.

Now, Sarah’s 17-year-old sister, Anna, is determined to hunt the bastard down. But there are a few problems. She doesn’t know who the killer is or where in the world he may be at any given moment. Also, she’s stuck at prestigious Druskin Academy, where PortPhones are banned and any student who attempts to port off campus is immediately expelled.

It gets stickier. Anna’s also fallen in love with her dazzling new roommate, who just so happens to be Emilia Kirsch’s daughter, Lara. The dean of students wants Anna dead, perhaps literally. And she has only two friends to confide in; one is a reckless alcoholic and the other a bizarre fussbudget. Oh, and now she also needs to find Lara, who has mysteriously disappeared from campus.

Point B is the story of one clever and occasionally determined young woman seeking both love and vengeance but hardly ready for those two missions to intersect. It takes you to Vietnam, Hollywood, Singapore, Tokyo, inland Mexico, Oxford, the Maldives, Cuba, the coast of Northeast Australia, and all points beyond. You will find yourself plunged into a borderless, chaotic, oddly miraculous world that is ruled by a single bloodless corporation and by a family determined to keep it that way. PortSys never expected Anna Huff, and Anna Huff never expected love to make her this daring.

From the author of The Postmortal and The Hike comes Magary's most deliriously entertaining novel yet.

Great story and delivery

This is the first audiobook I have ever listened to. I have read several books by the author and found that the narrator brought so much life the dialogue that I really enjoyed the experience. Despite the length of the novel, it was enjoyable all along and never dull. Great experience all around.

It's... fine

An interesting premise but the love story is overwrought and silly. Could be better.

Enjoyed the book and the production

Book was good, not great or amazing but I enjoyed it. Narration was good but I had trouble listening on headphones just because the pitch always seemed too loud no matter the volume.

Up Next for iPhones…

Love Drew Magary’s brain and the way he writes. Great story about what can happen when a new technology is allowed to “improve” the world. Love the strong female characters and sci fi concepts. Gotta say…still not sure I trust you know who!!

Good Book

Performance was fantastic. Only issue, and its minor, is the deep Southern accent used for a guy from Richmond. Otherwise great.

Fun and incredibly well performed

It’s a very cute story, but the performance made it come to life. Amazing voices for the characters.

I think its very good just meanders at points

Short and sweet review for you!

The ending meandered and took a while to just end it like so many moments I was like there must just be a few mins left but there was 1 hour then 30 then 20 and I was like man when does this end. I in no way think that ruins the book but its something to be aware of

Some parts of the book feel like just rehashing or spending time where we dont need to spend time like developing characters that I dont think needed to be there and their job could have been done by other characters that were introduced prior

Good things now!
I loved the sassy wit of the main character she was very fun and it was balanced well with her inner turmoil. She at no point felt 1D and like she was only sassy. She had some darkness to her that I really liked and appreciated

The Side characters were amazing each one was so fun to hear talk and interact I loved every moment with most of them
Alright I said short and sweet and its mid length, sue me.

Its a Good book not amazing but I think if you like sci-fi and romance you'll dig this

Love story/action movie

It gets pretty intense at times. I definitely did not want to stop listening. Magary is a fantastic novelist who does an excellent job of giving you every detail to fully immerse yourself into the novel. Ms Soler was awesome.

Great book

Overall, I really enjoyed the book. The performance was excellent, and brought life and dimension to the characters on top of the already good writing.

The only detractors to me were with the teenage angst. A good amount of it felt genuine and relatable to an extent, but some instances pulled me out of the story and made it hard to get back into it.

Very interesting sci-fi take.

A great story start to finish!

Been a fan of Drew's for years. His books are something different and welcome. The story engages at every level, and is a pleasure to experience. Thank you for another grand escape.
