Critic reviews

"EIGHT MINUTES, THIRTY-TWO SECONDS is a twisty and unnerving horror thriller! Scary, mind-bending and fast-paced! Brace yourself...!" (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and V-Wars)

"Lightning-fast, riveting, and smart. Just try to put this book down!" (Jeanne Ryan, author of Nerve)

"It's rare to read a book that feels genuinely unique, that stands apart from the tropes and retreads; it's rarer still to peel away that book's layers of tension and tragedy to discover that it's really a beautifully-crafted story about compassion (and the consequences of losing it) and love. That's exactly what Peter Adam Salomon accomplishes with his extraordinary Eight Minutes, Thirty-Two Seconds, and I cannot recommend this book highly enough." (Lisa Morton, Bram Stoker Award-winning author and editor, President of the Horror Writers Association)
Creative Apocalypse • Intriguing Premise • Excellent Ai Voice • Original Plotline • Satisfying Conclusion

This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author. There were parts of this book that I did not find very cohesive and they were a bit confusing. I had to re-listen to several parts. I never became too connected with the characters plight, and I think it’s because my mind would wander while listening. Maybe one day I’ll re-listen. I think I missed stuff.
I had a few issues with the plot, including..if the world population except 6 teenagers died quite quickly, who built the massive facility with advanced equipment and stocked it? Regardless, this was an original storyline to me and overall I’m glad I listened to it. It had potential. Unique idea.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Tom Howery ). He did well with the different voices including the computer. He had a cadence that was more akin to telling a story instead of reading it.

There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence. There is the very occasional swearing.

This was a very interesting sci-fi novel! End of the world scenario where only 2 people are left standing. The Author has an incredible imagination & I was on the edge of my seat for the whole audio book! The narrator did a great job with a book that had to be difficult to read aloud. I would recommend this book for anyone that enjoys Sci-fi!!!

Unique Science fiction novel!

I liked everything about this book. The story line displays teenage angst to the ultimate degree! The originality of the plot line kept me engaged, and the conclusion felt satisfying after what seemed to be a hopeless situation.

I would recommend this novel to any teenager or adult. It would make an exciting movie!

Great book!

This was a very cool audiobook. It definitely had a lot working for it, the premise, the characters, the backstory fit together very nicely and intrigue me. However, I think it was just missing a little something. Perhaps an execution, perhaps on the performance or maybe a combination of the two I just can’t quite put my finger on it. I got really involved in this universe quite quickly and I think I wanted more description. At times during this audiobook I just felt like my mind was getting pulled away from the story when I should’ve been totally enthralled. I really enjoyed the twists and turns along the way but wanted more. I like the mystery surrounding our characters but thought that with more knowledge of where they came from and who they were it would’ve really helped out the backstory, however I understand why they were written the way they were. I found myself liking parts of the performances and then just shrugging my shoulders and others. It was almost as if you could tell what mood the narrator was while they were performing. At times they were very enthusiastic and at others it felt like they were just reading a phonebook. The audio quality was great, and was easy to listen to. This was overall a great story and I really liked what it had going for it. I just felt like it was missing something and perhaps that’s a good thing because there could be a spin off book? I was provided a free copy of this audiobook from the author, narrator or publisher in exchange for an honest review from audiobook Boom
