À propos de cet audio

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 11th 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 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!

I really liked this book. Fresh take on Nietzsche’s curse/blessing of eternal return. Makes you wonder what you might do with endless life loops. Would you live for the moment and treat others as insignificant and pointless beyond your own gratification? Would you try to profit from your position? Learn all you can? Try to right wrongs or remake the world? Just live it over and over, or would you seek to end it all?

The writing is solid - not sure what others are criticizing in some of the reviews - and is exactly what I’d expect from the lead character. Though he us male, North’s female perspective I think lends a lot to the genre, development, and dialog.

The narration was great. He gives the right voice to the words. Just one thing to nitpick: the American accents were totally off and distracting. Thankfully, they are rare enough.

Interesting Concept and Well Executed

It was really hard for me to stop listening to this audiobook. It the first story of this kind that I listen to and I love it. It was bit confusing event if there was many back and forth. I totally recommend this audiobook.

I usually only listen to audiobooks while driving. This one had me so caught up in it that I just had to listen to the last 4 hours at home on my couch. I simply couldn't wait to find out the rest of the story.

Thoroughly enjoyed
