I’m glad to see we’re doing audiobook reviews now! I really love listening to books while doing house chores. Your review is very compelling and this world of echoes reminds me of Plato´s Theory of Forms. Like you, I love stories about parallel worlds or lives so I won’t be missing this one.
Thank you for your enthusiastic review!

Thanks for the great review. I have read a couple of books with parallel universes and enjoyed them. I may have to add this one to my list to read

Wow, this is the first review of audiobook that I ever read. I'm intrigued with the storyline but I still choose to read this book in epub or PDF format over listening to the audiobook; my listening ears only reserved for musics. Thanks for this lovely review of yours.

The premise sounds really cool. I am not a fan of audiobooks, so I would probably snag s hard copy. Thanks for your review.

I enjoy reading young adult fiction, and I also enjoy audiobooks, especially while traveling long distances in the car. Your mention of unforgettable characters and that you can feel the characters emotions is what perked my interest. Thank you for your review. I will have to check this one out.

It is interesting that as you listened to the audiobook, you felt like the author was telling a story and not just reading the book out loud. I am sure listening to or reading about parallel worlds would have a lot of mystery and intrigue about some of the details involved.

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to focus on an audiobook, but this one was really good. The content itself was compelling, and the reader/narrator did a very good job. Thanks for checking out my review!

I read the book after listening to it, and I’d recommend the book just as much I’d recommend the audiobook. I hope you enjoy it if you do read it!

There was definitely mystery involved. It’s a great story, if you decide to give it a try :)

I am drawn to stories about parallel worlds but this one sounds a bit eerie. Is it scary?

Thanks for the review!

I'm trying to figure out how I would review an audio book - cos you have done quite a good job of it. I'm intrigued about the parallel worlds and how Will came back! Great review!
