The 13th Hour: A Thriller Audiobook

" Thrilling. A quick read. A man is given a chance to go back one hour at a time to find clues to prevent his wife from bring murdered. Although each decision Nick makes in each time travel affects the future and outcome, the author doesn't really go into how it is doing that. A fun paced story. I will probably try another book from this author. I could do without the language. At one point, one of the characters mocks another for the poor vocabulary he is using. I thought the author should take his own advice. "

" This novel is a fresh addition to the Time Travel Genre. The book opens with the lead character, Nick Quinn, being interrogated by the police for the brutal murder of his wife. Quinn didn't do it, most of the police force is crooked, and involved in a multi-million dollar home invasion, and the crash of a commercial jet liner is also woven into the plot. And, next we learn that Quinn is in possession of a watch which allows him to relive the last twelve hours-running backwards, one hour at a time. He has twelve hours to change the course of history, and save his wife's life. The novel begins with Chapter 12, and finishes with Chapter 1. All kinds of possible histories are uncovered, explored, and avoided, yet no serious breaches of, "The Time Continuum Conundrum" are violated, but unfortunately, we never find out how that watch came to be. At times the book gets a bit confusing, but I guess that is the nature of these kinds of tales. According to the author's website this novel will be made into a film, and I am anxious to see if they can pull it off successfully. "

" I really give it a 3.5 rating. The plot is interesting, but the story is a bit prolonged and could use more intrigue to spice it up. "

" It was hard to put this book down. It was a great thriller. "

" I absolutley loved this book. It has definitely moved into my Top 5 Favorite books. This book kept me turning the pages. It's been a LONG time since I read a book so good I finished in 1.5 days. "

" Interesting take on a mystery and murder of a man who has the opportunity to save his wife with a special watch that allows him (as long as it stays in his possession) to go back for 12 hours in time, one hour at a time. Also interesting is how the decisions and changes he makes one hour back at a time, plays out in the future. "

" Great thriller! Such a concept of writing the chapters backwards, I loved it! "

" Amazing book. Big recommendation from me. Everyone should read it, keeps you on the edge of your seat. "

" Good premise, pedestrian writer. If they do a movie -- and it's a natural -- hope they hire a good screenwriter. "

" I loved the unusual concept of going back in time hour by hour--Nick has to figure out how to save his wife by reliving the previous hours before her brutal murder. "

" If...if...what should I have done to get a different "story"? Interesting. "

" A good suspense, murder mystery with a twist. Only objection was one character's vile language. Then again he was a totally vile man! This was a page turner. "

" I thought it was a very good concept and well told. Fast-paced action, but boring at random parts because of overly dramatic adjectives. I would recommend to anyone who wants a good, mystery and suspense book. "

" This was a different take on time travel. I really liked it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this story unfold--for lack of a better word--backward. It was an interesting concept. There was a bit of language at the beginning and in the end. "

" A must read for fans of thrillers and sci-fi "

" Brilliant idea but too repetitious. I would recommend seeing Momento instead. "

" Really enjoyed it, great to read a different plot. "

" i really liked it, it is mind thrilling, the concept of going back in time to save someone, or doing the right thing is just an amazing idea, but the point is everyone should believe in his/her fate whether he/she likes it or not. "

" Interesting concept but predictable. Not particularly well written. "

" I would give this 3.5 stars. It goes backward in time to solve the murder, which is an interesting twist. However I could easily put it down at the end of each chapter. "

" This was a good murder mystery with a time travel twist. Time by the week not by the century. These are my favorite genre of books so I really enjoyed it. "

" At first I wondered about why start at chapter 12, but it sure didn't take long to figure it out. A fast paced story that has enough twists and turns to hold your attention. "

" The thriller element gets 4 stars for me. But I had some issues with the writing, editing, one-dimensional characters and over-the-top sickly sweet Hollywood ending. Click here for my full review. "

" I read this book over a year ago and enjoyed it enough to remember it. Great plot. Thought provoking. Gripping. Quick read. "

" Nice little change on the whole time travel thing. Pretty clever. "

" Great premise, starting with chapter 12 and working through the storyline backwards. Had a familiarity of the movie "Groundhog Day", with lots of action to keep the story moving. It actually reads like it could be a movie. "

" This book was totally engaging!!! Keptmy attentionadn I didn't want to put it down. The way you have to start at Chapter 12 and go backwards...amazing! Loved every page turn! "
