Harry August is on his deathbed. Again. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes. Until now. As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. 'I nearly missed you, Doctor August, ' she says. 'I need to send a message.' This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

Review of 'The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

El libro comienza con una premisa interesante, pero los múltiples saltos en la historia hacen que la narración pierda fuerza. Las historias secundarias son vacías. A veces te da justo la explicación de lo que va a suceder a continuación. Al final libro se convierte en una lucha entre el aburrimiento y la curiosidad de saber como acabará.

The book starts from an interesting premise, but the multiple detours in the story make the narrative bland. The secondary stories are empty or boring. Sometimes they just explain what is about to happen. By the end of the book you find yoursekf fighting between boredom and curiosity to know the end.
