Gil’s mind was spinning, but he could hear the voice: “Four years! Four years sent back.”

Adventure awaits when a one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old man is sent back in time and accidentally gets stuck as his fourteen-year-old self again. Gil Teeny is forced to make "the best of things" until he waits out the four long years in the small town he grew up in. Facing down former bullies, trying out for every sport, falling in love with his wife again, and even learning the secrets behind the shadowy mysteries of time travel; Gil has a chance to do it ALL again... but this time? He intends to do things right!

Good quick short story

Good quick story that keeps you interested if not addicted.

The story line is good in my opinion
I didn’t like how it flashed through so much so fast
The AI narration was better than I thought it would be I thought it was going to be like a Reddit short story AI but was better than those

It's not a great story but I scrape paint for a living and need lots of entertainment

I listened to this at work, so it was fine for killing a few hours and I honestly can't say I hated listening to it but it's a nice but mediocre story that is pretty corny at a lot of points and then the ending just gets wildly ridiculous for no reason. It also give us one of the laziest names for a Government agency ive seen "Time Travel Special Forces", Come on now! Thats like Steven Segal level writing lol. It's also read by AI which does an alright job tbh and I could only tell a handful of times that something was pronounced weird, but at least it doesn't sound like Dudsey.

So, if you like Forrest Gump, Back to the Future and have a lot of past regrets you harp on then this story that is most likely written by a 17 year old and read to you by a robot than this is right up your alley.

ps- If you are a 17 year old kid that wrote this, good job and keep writing because you don't wanna end up like me as a paint scraper that spends his lunch break amusing himself by writing audio book reviews.

Fun!

Although I am not keen on the virtual voice, I absolutely loved the book! Excellent concepts and follow through!

Simplistic Writing - Horrible Narration

The “Virtual Voice” narration is beyond terrible. I thought it would be fine when I heard the sample, but soon after purchase I realized my mistake. No distinct character voices are attempted by the narrator. Pauses after sentences are unnaturally long.

I hoped the story would eventually make the narration worth my suffering. Once again, I was wrong. The story reminded me of books written by aspiring writers who are far from honing their craft. Near the end of the book I thought the story might get interesting. Once again, I was wrong.

Overall, “Time Travel” seems like bad young teen storytelling.

Short and Sweet

Time Man is one of those stories that you wish could happen to you. A well written short story that leaves you wanting more and a story you will always remember.

A.I. computer voice generated

A.I. computer voice was generic , robotic, uninteresting to listen too and didn’t convey any depth of the story.

V.V. Virtual voice

Great story. Unexpected twist and turns. The vital voice it's not perfected yet. Lots of words with no dramatic effect. Needs lots more work. But the story is worth listening to.
