Summary
What if you could go back in time and change some of the mistakes that haunt your past? Matt Dunsratty did just that.
Matt found a way to erase his past regrets. He was an average guy who was pissing and moaning his way toward retirement. Like many people before him, he often wished things had gone differently for him. Be careful what you wish for!
Matt found out all too soon that the weight of being able to alter his past was much more than he could have anticipated. It all began one dull summer vacation as an experiment in transcendental meditation. Through meditation, Matt chanced upon the ability to plant his adult thoughts in the head of his younger selves, thus altering their shared future. But innocent meddling paves the way for increasingly selfish choices. Little by little, the Matt that once was is slowly stripped away. What remains is less and less recognizable and acceptable to his loved ones and himself.
When Matt reboots a high school romance, his future families are blown, shattered, and destroyed. Matt saves John Lennon from assassination to help his best friend. But Matt, in a fit of rage, reconsiders his rescue, even though the reversal will cancel the utopian future forged by Lennon. Matt learns that small changes make all the difference, and unlimited greed quickly leads to unending suffering. Can Matt save himself and his sanity?
Think Somewhere In Time meets Slaughterhouse-Five. Letters From Hell will keep you spellbound with its convoluted twists in time and Mathew Dunsratty.

Thought provoking and captivating story
Firstly, I am a huge fan of the writing and imagination of Craig Robertson having devoured all the books in his Ryanverse series. This book is quite different, equally good and quite engrossing, it follows the life of the protagonist, Matt as he tries to find happiness. He is depressed, his life hasn’t turned out to be the joyous experience as he believes he deserves. I get it. I too, like every other non sociopath have regrets. Those choices we made where we turned left instead of right at a crossroad and the resultant “what if’s”. You know, those dark recriminatory reflections of our current trajectory and our seemingly poor decisions. Would I be happier if I’d made different choices? This book explores this sort of wondering as the increasingly unlikable Matt makes one butterfly causing effect after another. His ‘time diving’ creates one cause and effect after another, most with shockingly poor outcomes. It makes the reader/listener, rather pointedly, realise there would always be ramifications if we were able to go back in time and change our path. So regrets…forget ‘em. Now, as to the narration as acted by Kaleo Griffith. He’s okay, not great with accents for instance; his Liverpudlian was more borderline Scottish and the rest of his characters didn’t have much to distinguish them from each other. I’m probably spoiled from Scott Aiello’s masterful performances in the Jon Ryan series. Anyhow, this is a great book with a clever, thought provoking premise, well worth your credit and time! Enjoy!

GET TO THE POINT IF THERE IS ONE!!
This book held so much promise…..a great premise for the story, well defined characters and a colourful universe created for them to inhabit…….but in virtually every situation the author seems determined to look at a given ‘scene’ from every possible angle and likes to repeat himself incessantly to the point where I was actually saying out loud ‘ yea I get it!!…..can we move on with the story now’ only for him to continue to tread water re-clarifying things to the point where I completely switched off and found myself having to rewind and re listen to chapters after becoming utterly lost as to what was going on!
Again, this was a great premise but it left me wishing I had been able to time dive to move the book forward!!!

who has not seen butterfly effect
This story mimics the movie butterfly effect too much, and even the storyline is about a woman he likes.
Just by changing few things in the movie butterfly effect and you have this book.
