It makes you question the preconditions beliefs you hold with out knowing. It rips the glasses off your face and forces you to see a new paradigm. Audio book voice very soothing. (0 more)

Moments where it felt a little too over the top but worth it for the desired effect. Ending not at great a I was expecting but ch 9 thru 18 is just gold. (0 more)

A books from a century ago that still holds weight today

What a fantastic book. It's one of the classics that truly earns its title of being timeless. Written just about a century ago it still has weight today. It forces you to question your ethics and morals and leaves you questioning the world around you. I've read a few classics and this is by far my favorite.

Definitely one to read.

I can honestly say since school I have only read two books, they don't interest me. I am more of a movie guy. This book however I saw on my way to bed and I randomly read the first page. I was hooked.

Amazing story about a young girl who is convinced people from a t.v show is harming her sexually. She is petrified to talk cause spiders have ears, she is at a loss until she meets Torey Hayden an author that writes from her own experiences, she works with all kinds of children. As this mystery novel unfolds it kept me breathless I couldn't believe what I was reading, it was awful but every story has a happy ending, definitely a 10/10!

Erika (17789 KP) rated The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August in Books

Mar 29, 2020

I was not impressed with this book. It was one of those that I stopped reading multiple times and struggled to pick it back up. It seemed unorganized, and I just couldn't invest in Harry August at all. It really reminded me of @Dark Matter, as well as @How to Stop Time , even though this was published first. Had I read it before those books, I may have liked it a bit more.
It's a really cool concept, of course, living over and over again. Though, I wouldn't particularly want to be part of that club, personally. The plot was fairly predictable, and I was kind of meh about the ending. The book wasn't good, nor was it bad. I'm not sure I'd pick up anything else by this author.
