About this listen
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying.”—STEPHEN KING
From the author of The Passage comes a riveting standalone novel about a group of survivors on a hidden island utopia—where the truth isn't what it seems.
A POLYGON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
The islands of Prospera lie in a vast ocean, in splendid isolation from the rest of humanity—or whatever remains of it.
Citizens of the main island enjoy privileged lives. They are attended to by support staff who live on a cramped neighboring island, where whispers of revolt are brewing—but for the Prosperans, life is perfection. And when the end of life approaches, they’re sent to a mysterious third island, where their bodies are refreshed, their memories are wiped away, and they return to start life anew.
Proctor Bennett is a ferryman, whose job it is to enforce the retirement process when necessary. He never questions his work, until the day he receives a cryptic message:
“The world is not the world.”
These simple words unlock something he has secretly suspected. They seep into strange dreams of the stars and the sea. They give him the unshakable feeling that someone is trying to tell him something important.
Something no one could possibly imagine, something that could change the fate of humanity itself.

“A feat of addictive storytelling.”—The Wall Street Journal
“The Ferryman is next to impossible to put down once you’ve read the first few pages. Exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying, this is a book to get lost in.”—Stephen King
“A mind-bending novel full of big ideas and a roller coaster’s worth of twists and turns—so powerful and thrilling!”—Andy Weir

Great Book
I’ve read all of Justin Cronin’s books, and I really enjoyed The Ferryman. I thought it was an interesting story well acted by the narrators. I liked the different twists of the story and I like the way it turned out. This book was very thoughtful as are all Justin Cronin’s novels. Definitely give this one a read or a listen.

I was not ready for this book
I'm kind of mad at this book for the emotional roller coaster it put me on. I was not prepared for that at all.

Really a 3.5
I was a little disappointed in this book. At first I really enjoyed it and then it just got way too weird.

Cronin at his best! Fantastic narration!
A fresh, unique, and compelling story with dynamic and emotive narration from both narrators! With unexpected turns, vivid descriptions, and characters with depth, it's a book i would recommend to everyone. For Cronin's fans it's worth the wait!

4.5 Justin Cronin delivers again.
Exciting, thought provoking and hard to put down. Two narrators both very talented. The less than perfect score is due to having to go back to a few times to listen to passages towards the end that were a bit confusing. Quite a lot of story building and an immense ending that (perhaps?) sets the stage for further books. Would have liked to understand one part of the ending a bit more but I’m sure there’ll be debate over it. Recommended for sure, a fresh and unique story.

Great story!
It kept me guessing and was a real ‘page turner’. I absolutely loved it, and couldn’t put it away until it was done.
