The Thought Readers

Great book, I've not really sat down and wanted to read a book before and this didn't for me. It was my kinda of genre, good concept and interesting story. A great book to sit down and read when you have time to spare only wish it were longer.

Great book - hooked me right at the start. Can't wait to read the sequel.

Being a fan of science fiction, I am always on the lookout for good, engaging stories.

I don't normally listen/read sci-fi based in the real world (I prefer more fictional stories), however I found 'The Thought Readers' to be a wonderfully engaging book.

The concept is interesting right from the start, as we re introduced to Darren, the protagonist who can essentially stop time around him - what he calls 'The Quiet' - while being completely unaffected himself. The way he narrates this to the reader/listener is engaging and draws you into the world, I found myself eager to learn of his next experience with 'The Quiet'.

The pace of the book is fairly rapid, with interesting events and scenarios on a very regular basis. Combined with the excellent storyline full of unexpected turns, there is never a dull moment, and I was hooked from start to finish. In fact, my only complaint is that it was all over a little too soon!

As for Darren himself, he is certainly a likeable protagonist. The author does an excellent job with his development as he changes slowly through the story, creating a very well fleshed-out character that you truly care about.

The Narrator is also good, with a nice consistent voice and decent character distinction. It made for comfortable listening throughout the story.Though I most identified the voice with Darren himself, as the ebook is told from his point of view.

If you like Science-Fiction with a modern twist and a genuinely intriguing story, then pick this b
