I'd give the book 4 stars if it had been produced differently. But the sound effects were annoying and sometimes louder than the narration. The story was good, the narrator was great. There was just way too much NOISE there, too. Example: I do NOT need to hear the sound of someone chewing with their mouth open in order to envision the scene. I can picture that sound well enough in my head already, thank you.

This was a fun audiobook short story. It was a quick listen that I enjoyed. I got it free as an Audible Original.

This is done as a life performance audiobook, I am still not a fan of these. While this book only had one narrator, it had a variety of sound effects in the background that were distracting and I could have done without that.

Wally Roux is a boy genius who is finding quantum anomalies around his town. He is able to repair these anomalies, but they end up leading him on a journey show more of self exploration that he wasn't expecting.

This story was more of a coming of age story than a sci-fi story. The quantum mechanic elements are fairly brushed over. The story ends up being more about Wally's relationship with his mother and about him growing up.

Overall this is a fun and quick audiobook listen that would be appropriate for young adult and older readers/listeners. While I don’t think I would pay money for it, it was decently done for a free audiobook. show less

A fun and quick listen by Audible Originals. Wally Roux is a boy genius whose mother has uprooted him from his home in Maine to Savannah, Georgia. It's a coming of age story for young adults but being an older reader I still found it quite enjoyable. Loved all the background sound effects. Recommended.

I am so glad I came across this free selection offered by Audible. Not only is the story a real winner, but it is read by William Jackson Harper, the actor who plays Chidi on The Good Place; I love his voice.

You have to be able to suspend your belief in order to enjoy this book since the premise pertains to a 14 yr old who can supposedly perform quantum mechanics, but a book that espoused true quantum mechanics would not be nearly as charming.
