Reviews

Bleagh. First off, I downloaded this because a friend said she'd just gotten this book and we were talking of reading something together. I said I'd only heard it was good, knew nothing more.

... including, apparently, the fact that this isn't the book I thought it was. Who uses a well-known title? I guess someone who wants to flood the internet with links to it to sucker people into reading his pretentious, depressing crap. (Yes, I said pretentious. I read the bastard anyway and it deserves to have the word thrown back in its face.)

Worst of all, it's not even a fucking book. It's only 57 pages of self-indulgent pretense, worthy of a high school comp assignment. If it had at least had something redeeming to offer, I might have forgiven the hijack of someone else's title.

Pissing off readers is hardly the way to make a name for yourself as an author. In looking at other reviews, I'm willing to bet the enthusiastic few are friends and relatives as a good number of others said they bailed early. I should have been one of them.

A man caught in a deadend job has a crippling midlife crisis in which he converses with his nipple and attempts to erase his wife from existence.

First and foremost this is not that The Time Traveler's Wife. This is a bizarre short story that wallows in absurdism without really going anywhere and features little to no time travel at all. I have not heard the Nine Inch Nails song that this story is meant to be based off, so I don't know how much of this is the way it is because of that. Things just sort of happen without rhyme or reason. The few times things started getting interesting, nothing ever comes of it.

The character of John is incredibly dully and uninteresting. To the point where his talking nipple makes a better protagonist. I'd rather read the adventures of an anthropomorphic teet than the whiny ravings of a guy going through a midlife crisis. I just felt no sympathy for him and kept checking how many pages were left until this book finally ended.

Not a very interesting story all told. The only reason I read this was because it was free and I'd already downloaded it.

[Jo Depreitere · Rating 5 out of 5]

I must admit that I was a bit afraid to start reading this book, not being sure whether it could live up to my expectations after having already read several brilliant books of the hand (and mind) of Sean McGee. But, no worries, he did it again. A perfect portrail of the feelings everyone must be having after living together with the same person for years on end.
In retrospect, it is easy to say that the ending of the book is predictable, but I for one didn't see it coming. The heart-breaking click as the jig-saw pieces fall in to place... That's why I love reading his work. It leaves me wrung out for a couple of days and afterwards makes me want to make the effort to rekindle my joi-de-vivre. I wish more people would discover what a great writer Sean McGee is.

New

A refreshing yet cliche expression of love for another. The notion of loving someone so much you stick with them through illness and the notion that you intentionally forget in order to rediscover your love...interesting.

[Catea Ivanov · Rating 1 out of 5]

Perhaps this book appeals to some people, but I couldn't go past 41%, I guess a whole chapter of dialog between the main character and his right nipple is not really for me.

[Ligia Zetina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Linda historia, pero muy pastoso, en ratos me parecia muy lento. Al final, me quedo con un hueco en el corazón 🥲

[Lina Abojaradeh · Rating 4 out of 5]

I need to be honest: i accidently downloaded this book thinking it was the novel by Audrey Niffenegger. I'm not sure how i feel about it exactly but all i know is that i'm blown away (in both a good and bad way), and it's the type of writing that stays with you. YOU MUST READ IT TO THE VERY END. Because that's where it'll all come together. It's a very intelligent story and makes one reflect about the repetitiveness of their own life. It introduces a concept of love which is very profound. I will definitely read it again.

[Erika · Rating 2 out of 5]

Its book read fast, parts of it was confusing until the end where every thing fell into place. By parts I mean I was confused a lot of the time, I stoped and had to think about what was going on which made the story really stick. The ending was a surprise for sure.

[Isabel Cervera · Rating 1 out of 5]

No me gustó nada prefiero la película y la serie

[Paul · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like a number of others, I thought that this book was related to the film of the same name. I soon found out it was not, as the story line got weirder and weirder.
By the time the main character was having two-way conversations with his nipple and feeding it pizza, I had reached to the point where I was about to give up on it entirely, but that's not really me. I always want to finish a book, even a bad one, just to find out if it improves.
It did, once you understood why the story went the way it did, but that is not until the last chapter.
It eventually made sense, but I have to say, with apologies to the author, that this type of story is not for me.

[Trisha Martin · Rating 1 out of 5]

I rarely write reviews, but this book is so awful I couldn’t resist. First, this is not the popular book most people think they might be reading. Why would you use the same title as another popular book?!? Second, what the **** did I just read???? I’m a deep, introspective reader, which I believe was the author’s intention here… but it just didn’t work when your talking nipple is getting scaled with pizza. Save yourselves the couple of hours, and don’t make the same mistake as me. Make sure you are getting the book with the correct author!

[Saris Sarceño · Rating 5 out of 5]

un libro que habla del amor que trasciende el tiempo y el espacio, de como 2 personas pueden estar destinadas la una a la otra y de que el destino juegue su papel y permita que se encuentren en el momento exacto y oportuno

[Mary Rita · Rating 2 out of 5]

Over-rated by others.

[Alaina · Rating 1 out of 5]

This has the energy of something a misogynistic version of my edgy fake-deep 8th grade self would write

[Pinky Ishikawa · Rating 1 out of 5]

I accidentally bought this book, read it anyway, and I swear not to make the same mistake.

[Martín · Rating 1 out of 5]

Interminable y cansador.

[Emily Gast · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is strange but was a good, short read. I almost didn’t finish it but I’m glad I did. I give it the rating I do because of the ending and strangness.

[Milene Bissoli · Rating 1 out of 5]

Pathetic

[Marian · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was all kinds of WTF! From male nipples getting milked for people to drink, to hating ones job, to wait, what?! There are tons of grammatical errors and no real flow to the story

[Bob Morton · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is strange!

I took a philosophy class last year. I had to write several papers and cite them thus I combed through Amazon for free philosophy books and came across this one. There is a movie by the same name that I wanted to see, this is not the book that the movie is based on.
It is a stream of consciousness story at best. It starts with John and his friend and early on is laced with profanity in what appears to me to be shock value. Thankfully it slows to a trickle.
One lesson I have learned from my own poor writing is if you need a gun at the end of the story, you need to make sure that it is talked about at the beginning. That is the weakest part of the book. We are never really set up for the ending. It goes from philosophical stream to an abrupt end.
I really cannot recommend this to anyone. Even if it was free (the e-book is). The cost of your time to read it is not worth it.

[Letícia · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't often abandon book, even when it is a bad book. However, this book made it to my Abandoned Books list.

As most people that found this book, I was looking for the famous book with the same name. Regardless, I start reading it. I read 20%(yes, the book has only 51 pages and I could read more than 13 of them) and I didn't understand the book.

It have been almost two months and today I try it again. I just can't read it anymore.

[Debbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this book at a book sale and was hooked after I read the first chapter. Wonderful story that kept my attention through the whole story. A bit sad at times and you have to keep up with his time traveling and how fast the story goes. All in all it was a very good read.

[Sharon Tyrer · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm only marking this as two stars due to the hilarity factor I found from this book. I don't think I've laughed so much in a long time... I was crying. I don't think that was the point though. I really had no idea what was happening for most of that book.

[Rob · Rating 1 out of 5]

Bizarre

I couldn't even make it through this. Just so, so weird. Just not my type I guess. Definitely not what I expected.

[Reuven · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best sci-fi / fiction books I ever read. Even my daughter who dislikes sci-fi enjoyed it.

[Amy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Disappointed after learning it is on some Must Read listings. With that, enormous effort by author (and her 1st published novel)!

[Dee · Rating 1 out of 5]

I really disliked this book. It was philosophical, which is fine. But all the talking to nipples and milking creativity ruined it for me.

[Carolyn]

I didn't read this. I re-read The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffineger, but Goodreads STILL does not have a re-read button.
