Summary

'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..."

It wasn't a bad book but nothing compared to the passage trilogy. It kept me guessing but probably just because it would have been hard to consider the ending. I didn't much like the characters or the ending, which for a story about moving on, didn't really have much progression. There are things that I enjoyed. the setting was great and the scenes were vivid. The half explanations at every turn could be annoying but definitely kept me guessing. I hope Justin's next book will be as gripping as the previous.

worth listening but

I found this book gripping and it kept its secrets for a long time it was spoiled only by an overly schmaltzy and baggy third act, accentuated by the narrator's wavering voice. Plus unnecessary epilogues. However I would thoroughly recommend it and will read more from this author.

excellent, original but baggy story

Of the Justin Cronin books, till this. Such a great idea and so much to consider and think about but just didn’t flow for me. The characters never really became as intriguing and interesting as I hoped

Not what I expected after The twelve and The passage

Honestly one of the best books I’ve read since project hail marry and gives me vibes of shutter island. Would highly recommend and hope one day this will get turned in to a film!

Great plot and voice acting!
