Customer Review #AudioBookReviewer4.0 out of 5 stars Action packed adventure and time travel. Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2020.
Imagine Albert Einstein as an easily bored and extremely intelligent young boy, a supernaturally magic compass, a dragon and time travel all in one book! Gifted with a magical compass, Einstein travels through time and space discovering and growing his theories of light and time. Faced with forces of evil bent on obtaining the compass, Einstein is protected and guided by Moses and other beings of light and goodness from the Bible. The fallen angel forces Einstein to use his wit and the compass to remain safe and keep the powerful compass from falling into the wrong hands. Grace Blair and Laren Bright took a historical character and intricately blended this adventuresome fantasy.
I loved Einstein’s Compass completely. They based the different time periods depicted in this story on historical fact, mythology, and common belief which made the story richer. I loved the vivid imagery the authors created. The character development was smooth and complete. The plot twists were brilliantly executed. The narrator, Curt Bonnem was an excellent choice for the book. His German accent, cadence, and tonal inflections were spot on. His masterful voice kept the listener intrigued and the story moving forward. He projected the right amount of emotion – confidence, curiosity, snark, and more that aided in the development of the characters. Well done book and I look forward to more written by Blair and Bright!The audio production of this book was well done and clear.
