Dec 09, 2019 Claire Davis rated it did not like it

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I have given The Day the Sun Changed Colors by Scott Talbot Evans one out of five stars ⭐️ From my understanding, we are hundreds of years into the future; half human, half robot beings are finding there way when the sun starts to change colours and starts to affect everyone especially as they are given a certain amount of days to evacuate their planet. Unfortunately I wasn't in the right headspace for this book from the start. I found that ...more

it's a funny old world eh? even in Talbot Evans tale of an hyper future of a family of geniuses its funny. until the sun explodes and makes everyone have to clear out. it may have dated itself by some of the references. I didn't really like how litterbot was like a swiss knife and no thought about getting another one. more than half of the challenges they had to bionic six their way of would have been easily resolved by having at least one extra robot. I also thought the whole lets laugh at mens ...more

11,894 is a Science Fiction with the word emphasized on science. The author, Scott Evans, has you wondering if you are dreaming or really in the future. He writes this with a sense of humor, such as "Warning: The following material contains punctuation from the future" and by golly, it does and that makes the book interesting. He has also put together his own words for us to enjoy. Such as helenreddyshere. Now it took me a while for it to sink in what he was doing. I love this part and love tha 11,894 is a Science Fiction with the word emphasized on science. The author, Scott Evans, has you wondering if you are dreaming or really in the future.

I love this part and love that he used Helen Reddy as one of his words, he must be from the 70's to know who she is. Love it!
After millions, billions, and trillions of years, Earth is how we wish it would be. Peaceful, no money, everybody is equal and everybody loves and respects each other. The people are half robot and half human, if I got that right. Any way, The planet was like this until one day the sky started to turn different colors. The colors of the rainbow.
Now everybody is in an uproar and people are summoned to their professions to figure out what is going on. Yes, people are smart and as young as 2 have degrees in high tech areas. The TV anchor keeps broadcasting who should report and the danger levels, like with out terrorist levels. The people are going crazy and the anchor says. "Psychohistorians say we haven't seen such a break down in social order since the Trump Presidency!" I laughed so hard, I had tears streaming down my face.
This peaceful planet is now like it was back in 2017. With people all over the world fighting for the last chicken nugget, shoving and couples arguing. This is all from the different sky colors.
You see, the sun is going to explode and the moon is going to crash. So they were told to evacuate to another planet. And the people started to leave, except one family. This family is going to build their own ship. They go to a dispensary to get their parts. This place has all the old left over things from our time. They have never seen most of this stuff. It is so funny to read their comments on things we take for gannet.
So they start to build the ship. But like most families, there is bickering and at least one person who thinks they know it all and are in charge. This goes on for a long time and they are running out of time to leave.
The ending was nothing like I thought it would be. I really liked the ending and found it interesting and shaking my head thinking that it figures. There is a lot of science terms and I had a hard time figuring it all out in the beginning, but all of a sudden the story fell in place for me and I was really enjoying it. This is for the true science fiction lover. Completely different from any other I have come across of. Good story line, good writing (after I figured it all out), good humor and down right unusual. ...more

Aug 24, 2018 Gordon Long rated it really liked it

There is a certain amount of freedom in setting your Sci-Fi novel in 11,984 A.D. Society has changed so much that you don’t really have to follow any of the normal human conventions. Either in plotline, story structure, or grammar.

Married to this setting is a style of comedy that, I n the tradition of “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” pushes so far into the ridiculous that (hopefully) it starts being funny again. And in places it does. Unfortunately the author gets rather carried away with h ...more

Shelves: read-fantasy-sci-fi

When the author approached me to review The Day The Sun Changed Colors, at first I hesitated, since I am not a big sci-fi reader. However, the promise of humour decided me, seeing as I do enjoy things like Red Dwarf and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And the book was funny. I should say that straight off the bat. The situation in which the characters found themselves led to some amusing scenarios as they tried to make sense of the changing world, and their changing bodies and moods. I smi ...more

Shelves: beth-s-reviews, science-fiction

11,984 is Sci-Fi at it strangest. This book is an interesting read with unique concepts that take the phrase “In a perfect world” to a whole new level. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to my fellow Sci-Fi loving friends. I give it 4 Boundless Stars.
