Members Reviews:

Short, but interesting

There's a lot of encounters packed into this audio book. Most of them are shorter than 8 minutes in length. The down side is that nothing is explained in massive detail, but the upshot is that you get the point and are able to cover more ground.

The reading wasn't too bad, and overall I enjoyed listening to it. I caught myself squirming in my seat a few times.

Don't waste your money

Could this concept have been really interesting if written by another author? Until that happens we won't know. Skip this one.
