About this listen
"You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me."
A short story about the universe.

Brilliant short story with brilliant narration
I’ve always loved this story since I first read it. I remember being stunned the first time I read it, in much the same way one of the characters is at a certain point. Sadly, once you know the hook it loses the element of surprise and it’s hard to read (or listen to) it again and still get the same sense of enjoyment. It’s one of those stories that you wish you could forget just so you could experience the thrill of going through it the first time again.
As for the narration, I’m not so overly enamoured of Bray’s narration in general as many others are. I think that for some books there doesn’t seem to be a lot of feeling in his narration. But here his voice is absolutely perfect for the story!
It’s short (8mins), it’s cheap, and it is absolutely worth your time, no matter what genre you prefer.

Andy Weir doesn't disappoint.
I really enjoy Andy's writing style.
The Egg may not be for everyone but is an interesting look at how you view yourself and others.

A lot can happen in 8 minutes
I spent most of the story thinking wtf? *lightbulb* Oh, I get it, so profound.
Narrator created characters beautifully through different voices.

Loved the concept - way overpriced.
The title of this review says it all, but apparently a review needs 20 words. Done.

Mind. Blown.
It's been a month since I listened to this but I can't stop thinking about it.
This is potent storytelling.

Buyer Beware its 8 minutes long!
I feel ripped off that I spent a whole credit on 8 minutes of Andy Weir’s fabulous writing. I didn’t notice the length of the “book” until it was too late. Much swearing ensued….
Save your credit for something a bit longer. The overall story line is great but it needs more words to be fully fleshed out.
