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.

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.

Well worth the listen.

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.

Very Good Book, Great Performance

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.

Soooooo much better than that crap movie they made

1st book on the series. I believe the story will get more interesting as we get more details from the other books.

Interesting story.

I was expecting something like the movie, but the main character was far more nuanced and likeable, with a great job of showing personal growth and an almost superhero development arc. While some characters were a little one-dimensional it still managed to strike a great balance between a coming of age tale and a fantasy novel.
The narration was engaging and kept in pace with the characters growth. All in all, very pleased and eagerly waiting to listen to the sequel.

much better than expected!

Great story. The main character, Davy, had do much more depth. I found him both emotIonally complex yet believable.

Much more enjoyable than the movie
