Publisher's summary

Jack Rybicki is a high school senior who loves his girl, likes to party, and doesn't have much of a plan for his life.

Then fate plucks him from obscurity and Jack, now renamed Jack Noble by his management team, becomes one of the most famous people on the planet.

A teenager who likes to indulge himself with limitless resources is not the best recipe for a successful life.

But, it's never too late in Middle Falls.

Includes a special bonus note read by the author. Like all books in the series, it can be listened to as a standlone story.

keep em coming

love this series. Fun, interesting, heart tugging, human, and redemptive. I wouldn't mind if Shawn Inmon got the Universe right with these books - I know there are plenty things I would love to revisit.

Fan-Freakng-Tastic!

the narrator was one of the very best that I've ever heard! Scott Brick has always been my favorite but I may have a new one now

Jack Rybicki

Favorite character in series. Hope Jack continues to impact the time travelers in future books. Loved how his innocence and vulnerability continued in each of his lives. Nice departure from the flawed relationships in prior characters.

Another feel-good entry

I listened to this on Audible Plus Library.

Another satisfying feel-good entry into the series, with another great audio narrator.

I thought the last few had long first lives--this one is even longer. I am still enjoying the explorations of different time periods and different industries within them--and with this we get a teeny bit of a different culture too with a character from a Polish immigrant family. Someday I'd love to see one of these books explore something other than white middle-to-upper-class characters.

This book also raises more questions (or answers them, depending on your mindset) on how all of the characters resets interact with each other. I've come to the conclusion that this is a multiverse, and every possible combination exists. The author is just telling us the story of this iteration of Jack #1 and #2 etc which overlaps with Thomas #2 and more. There's a version of Jack #1 which overlaps with Thomas #1, and one that overlaps with Michael #83, but that's just not the story we're seeing today.

Another great story from Shawn

I really enjoy being transformed back in time through his story lines. I especially like all the references to Oregon as I live in Eugene-Springfield.

Compelling and unpredictable

The author reveals such wisdom in this beautiful story of a common man and his "family" from Middle Falls. I loved Jack and his transformation.

Thomas and Carrie Return

In his first life, Jack Rybicki stumbles into fame and fortune but loses his high school sweetheart.
In his second life, he does things differently...but it doesn't quite play out like he planned.
Third time around, and all the wiser, he knows he'll get it right. But does he?...

While having to do with a bit of romance, this was not a sappy read. It even caught me off guard and I had an "awwwww..." moment with some warm fuzzies.

I loved how Thomas and Carrie were big key players in this book. As with most in this series, I loved it and highly recommend.

I love this series

This is the 9th book in the series that I have read. I love that each book is basically a stand alone story. Each book has held my interest. I put off listening to this book because I was not sure I would like the character. Once again Shawn Inmon has delivered a really enjoyable story. I like the way the story is focused on two characters but then ends with showing the importance the other characters had on Jack's life. This is a series I will give a second and third listen to someday.

Another fine dip into the Middle Falls series

While you can read any of these in any order I think it is a good idea to read them in order as former characters tend to pop up from time to time. If you enjoy time travel or past lives types of stories then you owe it to yourself to check out the Middle Falls time travel series.
