In this charming audiobook about second chances, Johnny Heller proves himself a great choice as narrator. In a nutshell, Thomas Weaver wasted his life after suffering a tragedy as a teenager. After the 54-year-old alcoholic commits suicide in 2016, he wakes up in his bedroom in 1976, back in his 15-year-old body. Given a do-over, Thomas resolves to be a better man in his second life. Listeners can hear Heller's voice transition from a weary old man's to a hopeful teen boy's. Heller also shows his range with the supporting cast, who include Thomas's mother, his brother, his reincarnated new love, and a budding serial killer. Heller ably brings to life all these winning small-town characters in this fast-paced tale of time travel. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]
