Summary

Imagine a town where the people perpetually live in the 1950s, a place where time has all but stopped and where everyone loves his family, job, and life. In this strange place, only a select few people ever leave the city limits and even then, they leave reluctantly. This is what 15-year-old Benjamin Granault faces as, through a string of amazing events, he finds himself living in a town where he can never talk about modern technology or current events, a place where being an outsider can cost a person his life and being part of the community may very well cost more. Follow the adventures of Benjamin Granault in 50sVille, the strangest town Indiana has ever been unaware of.

A Great two and a half hour listen

If you like old tv shows like Outer limits or the twilight zone then you will really enjoy this book, you follow the adventures of Benjamin Granault in 50sVille, the strangest town Indiana has ever been unaware of,'50sVille has a good story and is easy to follow as an audiobook, the narrator is a little flat sounding but besides that '50sVille has a fun storyline with good characters and dialogue,I'm not sure if it would make my listen again list but there are more audiobooks in series, and the samples sound pretty good, if I have a spare credit I might be back to review part 2

'50'sVille

Ben loved every year when the town blocked off the main street and everything 1950's took over.Every year he would pick up with friends at the same place he left off the last year.When he questioned this,he was told to not question things.Under bad circumstances he gets to live his life in 50'sVille.It isn't all it seems to be. Dave Wright was a fine narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Hooked Already by this intriguing premise

When Bens father dies he is sent to live in a town that seems to be perpetually stuck In the 1950's where he cannot mention the internet, mobile phones or modern conveniences. What starts out as quaint and a little weird gradually as the story unfolds becomes increasing if subtlety darker in tone This is the first in a series and a lot of the book is made up of setting the scene which makes for a gentle pace until the end and there are lots of things left unexplained. I am hooked on this story already, I like the authentic 1950's atmosphere and that the tone is getting more sinister. Narration is very good if slightly flat in parts but still very easy to listen to. I will be reading more in this series. I received a complimentary copy from the author and am leaving a honest voluntary review
