Midlife Crisis - The Time Bubble 7
Formats: E-Book, Audio, Paperback
Oxfordshire, 2020: Richard Kent is about to be offered the most extraordinary opportunity – to live any six days of his life over again. Kicked out of his job, ignored by his kids, and the butt of everyone's jokes in the pub, nothing is going right for Kent. Increasingly disillusioned with modern life, he spends his days reminiscing about a youth he will never see again - or will he? When a mysterious benefactor offers him six trips to the past, Kent seizes the chance, starting with a journey back to 1984 to buy his first record. Later, he gets a second bite at an unfulfilled teenage crush, plus a chance to wreak revenge on his malevolent boss armed with nothing but a large rubber Brontosaurus!
Reviews
I love Jason Ayres books, I've devoured each of them in one sitting. I love their nostalgia and his inventiveness of imagining life in the future. I love the everyday aspect of his futuristic worlds and the memories he evokes when reminiscing about the past. I'm from the same era and his books remind me of things I'd forgotten about 80s and 90s culture. His books make me think as he poses interesting questions such as picking days from the past to relive and imagining these has given me so much pleasure....Jason Ayres gets me to think like no other author has and he's funny too.
I've read all Jason Ayres' book about time travel and I have become a fan! Every book is just better than the previous one. Especially for me that I am on my mid 40s and share the same experience with the author, I felt very engaged and finished the book in 1 night. Keep up the good work Jason, look forward to your next time travel novel!
I really had my doubts about reading this book as its not my usual thing but I needn't have worried. I really enjoyed this book from the getgo, after all who wouldn't want a chance at righting a few wrongs from the past! Some great memories stirred up for me too! Great book, highly recommend anyone reading it
