About this listen
'Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying.'
STEPHEN KING
The islands of Prospera lie in a vast ocean: in splendid isolation from the rest of humanity, or whatever remains of it. . .
Surrounded by sun, and sea, and stars, their world is perfect. But every paradise comes at a price.
When the truth behind theirs is revealed, it will end a way of life, and start a revolution that will change the course of humanity itself.
And it will all begin with one person hearing these simple words:
"The world is not the world..."

Lengthy sci fi exploration - could do with tightening up
I was initially very curious about where this story was going but there were many points that I felt it was never going to get wherever that was
I was almost disappointed by what I thought the final reveal
was, only to have that develop further unexpected layers.
However overall I felt this story needed to be significantly cropped or made into a series.

incredible, blew me away
One of the best books I have ever read. reminiscent of 1984 . Gripping, intriguing and making me think about life and living. I will now read everything else Justin has written! Great performances too.

Initially engrossing but ultimately boring
I was excited till the initial revelation. Then I hoped for more twists but ultimately I found it slightly tedious snd derivative of so many Philip Dick novels

Didnt disappoint!
As a fan of the passage trilogy, I was really excited to read another book from this author. This was just as immersive as I had hoped it would be. Beautifully narrated, and such an interesting and compelling story, another masterpiece Justin Cronin!

Clever and intricate
I didn’t like the last quarter of the book as much as the earlier stuff, but the way in which the first part interrelated to the later material is very clever.. just a bit too SF for my taste.

A great idea but not falls a bit short
I really wanted to like this more than I did…it has a dreamlike quality, that’s overly descriptive in places…whilst part of the whole concept, it makes it really hard to keep up with what’s going on.
I loved the premise of it, there were some really engaging parts - like when the reveal comes and the message about climate change was also great but overall I found that chapters flew past where I had no idea what was going on!
Narration was fantastic.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Not what I was expecting having read the Passage. Gripping storyline. A little predictable in places, but this didn’t diminish the enjoyment.
Thought provoking and troubling at times.
The narration was excellent.

Very imaginative story
I thought the author really came up with a very imaginative and topical story. However, I thought Scott Brick was not right for this book. Listening became soporific when he was reading; he drones a bit and sounds like he is about to burst into tears. The book pobably needed tighter editing because it seems to drag in places. But overall, what a great achievement from one of my favourite authors.
