It's your money, if you want to follow reviewers who blow happy gas up your butt, so you waste your money, that is your privilege. A lot of books start out great, but stagnate or go down hill after the initial unique start and become fairly normal. MAN UP (other reviewers) I sometime wonder if a lot of these other reviewers really listen to the whole book, before doing a review. You take out all of his whining and moaning and the book would only be four hours long. Most of the book is a lot of moaning by one of the main characters, named Ben. I ended up wishing I had not listen to all of it. Unlike some other reviewers, I did not think the book had a good ending. I think I was just hoping things were going to pick up and be like the first two hours. First two hours of this are great, but the book quickly goes down hill. WHO NEEDS A PILL WHEN YOU GOT A GRENADE Another author, who loves to write books in a series, meaning you never get a full book, until you have read the whole series and that you are going to have to listen to a lot of filler. If they both cost one credit, wouldn’t you rather have fillet mignon? So, before you give something 5 stars, please make sure it is fine dining and NOT just a Happy Meal. While we are all hungry for entertainment, Audible Reviewers need to distinguish fast-food burgers from fillet mignon. Unfortunately, people are buying into this hype. In the end, you wind up paying 3 credits for essentially one book. I’ve come to realize that the Audible marketing machine is hyping formulaic “Fast-Food” books that hook you into buying the first of a series. Instead, you get overly detailed descriptions of fist fights, awkward sexual harassment, and the endless manic-depressive moaning of the main protagonist (BORING). The author tries to spin the story around the paradox of time travel and the intrigue of special operators, but there are no new perspectives or cool techno-geek deep dives on these topics. When compared to other time travel stories like “The First 15 Lives of Harry August “or “11-23-63: A Novel”, this book barely musters 3 stars. At best, it is mildly entertaining and barely worth a credit. Don’t be swayed (as I was) by the glowing reviews, because this is not a five-star book.
