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.

Great plot and voice acting!
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!

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

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.

Slow, but rewarding if you can stick it out
Good performances help this audibook (Scott Brick never lets us down), but I almost gave up multiple times. The start of the book is very interesting, but wow the middle (which is long and detailed) is like wading through treacle. So much is hinted at and drawn out, but ever-so-slowly. Abstract clues and unanswered questions seem as if they will never come to fruition - and then - very close to the end of the novel, the big reveal which we knew had been coming since the very start, finally drops. It was the most interesting and fast paced section of the book, but by then I had narration on 1.3 to get through it as quickly as possible.
You'll get no spoilers from me, but this whole story (while imaginative in many ways) is an amalgamation of many sci-fi books and movies you've seen before. Ultimately it was too long, but would make a good tv show, I think.

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!
