Julian is a teenager with an extraordinary gift: he can remember every thing with exact detail. After his mom dies though, he begins having gaps in memory that are filled with some unknown person’s memories instead. These memories lead him on a mysterious adventure that blends time travel with the power of Julian’s unique mind.
This story was short, sweet, and an interesting take on time travel. Since it’s so brief, I won’t go into a ton of details, because every detail is important in this one, but I will say that I highly recommend it if you’ve read Fallen Dragon. I got some of the same feelings and found it to be an enjoyable audiobook.
Julian is not a typical teenager. He’s young, but he’s highly intelligent, and this may or may not be such a good thing. He has normal teenager struggles, like issues with the other boys at school, but he thinks at a more mature level and worries more about the future vs. right now. Hamilton did a great job writing his character and I found him to be a great protagonist in this story who I cared a lot about. There’s also some interesting dynamics in the relationships he has with the adults in his life, as everyone has different levels of acceptance when it comes to Julian’s heightened intelligence.
I gave this book a 4 out of 5. It was really just a good end-of-the-year read. It’s easy to listen to, and since it’s so short, it gets right to the point.
