The plot was relatively straight-forward, but (as always) the details and machinations are what made the story so much fun. I only had one issue with the logic: Looking forward to more from this author. Audiobook notes: no complaints, nicely done An exciting time travel I gave the book 3 stars instead of 4 due to the fact that this genre is not one I love. Don't get me wrong I liked the book, following the main character though different periods of his life and remembering which one of him is narrating became a bit confusing for me. I usually read books that do not require so much thought and attention (I read a lot during the night b/c I do not sleep well so I probably didn't give enough attention to this read). Anyone who enjoys time travel especially with twists and turns will thorough enjoy this book. It is very well written and edited. So this is a fairly unique take on the whole time travel genre. And for that reason alone it deserves some credit. It also tries to take time travel and its consequences somewhat seriously. But also like many time travel novels, it can drive one crazy trying to determine whether it is logically consistent and paradox free or at least paradoxes are all accounted for, and ultimately if you are me, you give up and just go by feel. And if feels pretty good. Worth the read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When Nigel Walden is 14, the Unhappenings begin. His first girlfriend disappears the day after their first kiss with no indication she ever existed. This retroactive change is the first of many only he seems to notice. Several years later, when Nigel is visited by two people from his future, he hopes they can explain why the past keeps rewriting itself around him. But the enigmatic young guide shares very little, and the haggard, incoherent, elderly version of himself is even less reliable. His search for answers takes him 52 years forward in time, where he finds himself stranded and alone. And then he meets Helen. Brilliant, hilarious, and beautiful, she captivates him. But Nigel's relationships always unhappen, and if they get close it could be fatal for her. Worse, according to the young guide, just by entering Helen's life, Nigel has already set into motion events that will have catastrophic consequences. In his efforts to reverse this, and to find a way to remain with Helen, he discovers the disturbing truth about the unhappenings and the role he and his future self have played all along. Equal parts time travel adventure and tragic love story, Unhappenings is a tale of gravely bad choices and Nigel's struggle not to become what he sees in the preview of his worst self.
