I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This book starts off sounding like a sweet love story. Man dreams about beautiful woman. Man starts obsessing about the dream woman....Ok I am with you. Man suddenly realizes that aliens are real....wait whut?.....Man realizes that everyone in his life are deceiving him about the aliens.....wtf?.....Man discovers more about the aliens. Alright then.

The story was weird and took many random turns. There was no real conflict in the book. The main character (Zane) searches for his dream girl and gets random reveals. Everything just happened in a way that left me feeling rather unsatisfied with the story. There were "obstacles" which were way too easy to overcome and the antagonists were very easy to back down at a word from the main character.

The Narrator was top notch. I always seem to listen to books at around 1.4x but I had to speed up to 1.7x to get a better pace but overall, everything flowed smoothly. Everything about this narrator other than the speed was amazing and I will be finding more books narrated by him in the future.

4.5 out of 5 stars

I went into this one with a completely open mind. The cover didn’t even really affect my thinking about the book. So, once I started it I was getting some serious vibes from a few different stories I’ve read or watched over the years but it was still a bit different.

The benefit of being similar to a book or movie is that I have a baseline and it’s not all new ideas and thoughts, but sometimes you can get bogged down in “oh this is just a repeat of that”. Some Planets Aren’t So Close to Earth thankfully just used some similar ideas but had a lot more original ones to take it to another level. The story was interesting and kept me guessing around every corner.

As the story neared the end, I was shocked a few times by the different things that were realized or revealed to Zane. The back and forth between him and Amaris throughout was top notch as well – really ramping up the emotional value of the story.

Overall, Some Planets Aren’t So Close To Earth felt original and different while also feeling familiar and comfortable. Rouzzo was able to write things that surprised me but also things that felt right. The story really flowed and once it started down the final slope I couldn’t put it down.

The narration by Victor Warren, while a bit on the slower side was excellent. Warren is able to give emotion without overacting and is able to turn an enjoyable story into something even more so.

Both Different and Similar in Such A Good Way
