Wildly original, funny and moving, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August is an extraordinary story of a life lived again and again from World Fantasy Award-winning author Claire North.

Harry August is on his deathbed. Again.

No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.

Until now.

As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message."

This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

I am always surprised when a book abused on a single character’s point of view is as captivating as this. This unique twist on a time travel type book had me listening closely to each detail. The only criticism I have is that while the performer did a great job convincing me the I was listening to the protagonist himself, nearly all of the other male voices sounded the same.

Hey surprisingly fresh idea

A friend recommended this one to me, and he was absolutely right. Solid concept, great execution, great presentation. I still think often about this story

A Solid Choice

The amount of detail and thought gone into writing this book is masterful. I was hooked and willingly strung along Harry's quest from beginning to end. The narrator couldn't have done a better job either, as all of the characters were voiced perfectly. One of my new favourites, I would highly recommend for someone looking for a thought-provoking real-world "fantasy" story filled with the unexpected.

Outstanding Fantasy Thriller

What an absolutely amazing book. I have listened to a plethora of audiobooks and this is the first one in quite a while, that has captured my undivided attention.
If I could give this a 10 out of 5 stars, I would.

BRILLIANT!
